How it's used
Borrowing from the internet age, this term is almost exclusively used for online campaigns where creators seek small contributions from a large number of people. It is a direct loan translation from English, so it sounds perfectly natural in modern business or creative contexts. You will often hear it used as a verb, as in 眾籌緊, to describe the ongoing process of raising money.
Examples
They want to do some crowdfunding to make a movie.
