Hi, I'm Ot Varela.

I am so pleased to be here at Wikipedia. At last I'll be sharing what I know about how to fund projects...

I help funding projects that can make a difference into their specific areas. I use my Open Funding approach for that purpose.

Projects are just ideas turning into action during a specific period of time. Projects are much simpler to implement then organizations... Believe me I know, I've been there. My background was entrepreneurship and Venture Capital (when needed) for 20 years.

Know I moved on, strongly, into Funding. It's the next step into my life. I'm interested to apply my concept of 'Open Funding' I've been testing since 2010. So my 'Open Funding' means "Organizing Projects using Venture Capital structuring Standards and fund those projects through Crowd Funding".

What really drives and makes me very happy is watching my Open-Funding approach making happen someone-else's project that I feel related to. It may be a Commercial, Social, Cultural or any other dignifying Project where clearness of procedures and goals will be there.

It's amazing for me to encourage a all open community of people that are pleased to freely give their donations, comments, suggestions, contacts and sometimes even resources so that a Project they find valuable will see the day light!

So, I want to continue to organize, make available and publish here at Wikipedia a permanently updated article about my Open Funding approach for Projects. I hope that it will be a useful starting point for whoever wants to turn an Idea into a Project even by himself.

No matter if you are a funder, a project promotor or just someone curious about my Open Funding approach for Projects, you are very welcome to help me improve my Wikipedia article!

Please send inputs you'll find useful for this article to varela.facebook@gmail.com

Thanks in advance. Cheers!!!
