Question

7．This day marks the rising of a new food startup，the first company to be financed entirely by the crowd，and of it every business thus relies on thousands of customers to grow．Lisa，25，its main founder and CEO，believes it will be a path that will become increasingly popular，and ultimately will produce more thriving（繁榮的）businesses from the scratch．
"In the food industry，no venture capital （VC，風險投資） will even look at you until you've hit a million in sales．As a fresh hand in business，unless you're independently wealthy，you will likely need to raise some money before then，"Lisa complained．So few businesses approached VC firms at the beginning．It was no exception with her．Thus，she turned to a new financing tool at hand，crowdfunding，to raise money from the crowd who'd like to take a bet on her company．
But for a company，it didn't make sense to seek investments when all they had was an idea and a few months of consumer testing data．The food market is extremely competitive．No investor would put money behind a totally unproven new superfood product founded by a bunch of twenty-somethings．"But we had a story．And crowds love stories．"Lisa said delightedly．So she put together an online crowdfunding campaign，explaining how she began working with this amazingly nutritious plant in the Peace Corps and then started selling it in the U．S．to support the poor in the West Africa．
On the online platform where they were to raise the money，a friend convinced them to change their goal from﹩20，000 to﹩50，000．Lisa stayed up all night worrying they wouldn't hit it．But they reached﹩24，000 in 24 hours and ended their funding with﹩53，000．Seeing the number，Lisa said，"Thank you!To my crowd and for your belief!"
