    Crowdfunding Accounting 101 - Revenue Recognition in Crowdfunding

    By
    A start-up using crowd funding to create a product is different from a normal company. The start-up has cash inflows from donations but does not have a product, yet. In this situation, we recommend using completed-contract method to recognize revenue. Under this way of thinking, we assume the start-up is akin to a project or a long-term contract.

This is not what we see, however. It seems that people are willing to donate small dollar amounts, up to about $50, and then contributors look to donate at least $100. What's going on here? To explain this phenomenon, classify backers into two categories: 1. The first category are people who simply want to help. They donate less than $50 dollars and do not donate for the reward (normally a T-shi...
