Experiment in crowdsourcing attempts to buy a beer company
Ever wanted to own a beer company? Well as a result of a social experiment in crowdsourcing being run by several PR firms, you may now have the chance. With an asking price of $300 Million, it will take just a little coordination to pull off the gig. The Buy a Beer Company website describes the pledge process:
Through crowdsourcing pledges of as little as $5.00, the cost of a bottle of beer, this can be achieved based on the largest crowdsourced audience assembled, ever.
Make a pledge from the choices below. Once the asking price is reached, you will be notified. Upon collection, you will receive your very own and a first, a crowdsourced certificate of ownership suitable for framing as well as enough beer to match your pledge.
- Bottle Membership: $5.00
- Six Pack Membership: $25.00
- Case Membership: $100.00
- The BrewMeister: $250,000.00
Total pledges just reached $50 Million, over 1/6th of the way to the full price tag. You can find out more at buyabeercompany.com.
