Mobcaster was a US website for crowdfunding television shows. It would also distribute shows once they were produced. Project creators posted ideas for pilots. If the pilots got funded, then project creators could post projects for full production. Mobcaster charged 5% of funding, plus 3% for PayPal charges. If a Mobcaster-funded show was picked up by other distribution outlets, Mobcaster held 15% participation in the show.Mobcaster FAQs -- Fees
