1. ConnectionPoint ($1.8M/year)

Daryl Hatton, the founder of ConnectionPoint, came up with the idea for his crowdfunding-as-a-service platform, FundRazr, while coaching his son's lacrosse team and struggling to get players to attend practice. He wondered if he could use Facebook to get them to pay their registration fees, which led to the core idea of using social media to facilitate funding for important projects. After investing a quarter of a million dollars and navigating some challenges with changes to Facebook's API, Hatton successfully launched FundRazr in 2009 and has since helped almost 200,000 projects raise over $200 million.
