Description: Debt crowdfunding appears to demonstrate the most promising and sustained growth of all energy access related crowdfunding activity. Although debt crowdfunding was previously dominated by zero-interest (to lender) microloans, interest-bearing working capital loans grew significantly in 2016. They now account for almost half of all energy access related debt crowdfunding, while they accounted for less than 10% of debt crowdfunding in 2015.
