Another Crowdfunding Player Enters The Fray: Apps Genius Launches GetFunded.com

This may not have been the U.S. government's exact intention when when it passed the crowdfunding-friendly JOBS Act, but you have to wonder if it has also jumpstarted the number of crowdfunding sites out there competing for entrepreneurs' and consumers' attention. The latest comes from the social and mobile games developer Apps Genius -- (in)famous for its scatalogical riff on Angry Birds, "Angry Turds" -- which today announced that it is launching a new crowd-sourced funding site, GetFunded. Like Kickstarter and many others, GetFunded will be a "crowdfunding platform for entrepreneurs who are seeking new investments in their businesses and ideas," according to a statement from App Genius. Adam Kotkin, the CEO of Apps Genius, clarifies that just because his company is focused on games, this doesn't mean that GetFunded will be, too: it's aiming for everyone and everything. He tells me the site will be launched in the coming weeks.
