As I was walking around Kaleiçi yesterday I bumped into Katja who I knew from the time she Couchsurfed in my apartment.  At that time she was talking to me about opening a laundry business but that she had very little funds to do so.

Imagine my surprise then when I saw her sitting outside her newly opened laundry business shop.

She had managed to raise the funds through a variety of means, one of which was something called Crowd Funding.

You listen to Katja explain more in the video below.

Here is a link to her website with lots more info about the project.

Good luck Katja!

Cheers!
