Is It Getting a 'Lil' Grim' Around Here? MyOwnEulogy.com, a St. Louis based start-up, turns to Indiegogo for alternative funding sources.
ST. LOUIS, April 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Founders, Alba Carrico & Jan Knight, along with their mascot, "Lil Grim," are turning to the internet to raise funds for their dream project, MyOwnEulogy.com, a website that allows an individual to upload their own eulogy video.

Funding is the first major obstacle to getting any social media project off the ground. In line with Indiegogo.com guidelines, the founders have set a number of days to raise the funds needed to enhance the website.
MyOwnEulogy.com has been live for less than a year and already has gained a great number of followers across all social media networks as well as acquiring members organically from all corners of the world.
Jan and Alba say: "We believe that our website is a great project that will benefit generations young and old alike. The $50,000 we hope to raise through Indiegogo will enable us to add more functionality to the site, pay for video storage fees, and keep the dream alive. We are in the boom of self-video and social media technology, which can be used to leave a legacy behind like never before, as well as lifting the burden from family and friends."
Crowdfunding enables people with a great business idea to ask the general public for the capital they need to set up or expand. The business sets a target for the money it needs to raise and explains how it will use the cash. Supporters can then make pledges for small amounts of money in return for a reward if the target is reached.
