of raising money through a team effort; where loads<br />

projects, as opposed to one or two contributors<br />
donating large sums.<br />
Jumpstarter’s aim is to connect people who have<br />
good ideas with people that like seeing good ideas<br />
succeed. If you have an idea you think could benefit<br />

your campaign as you can, by spreading the news via<br />
