The concept is similar to the global phenomenon of crowdfunding, where individuals or organizations seek financial backing from a large number of people, typically via the internet.

In Finland, kiinnonlähteeksi is often employed in various contexts, including art, technology, social causes, and entrepreneurship. The idea is to create a sense of community and excitement around a project before it officially launches. This can involve creating a website or social media page, sharing updates, and encouraging followers to contribute financially or through other forms of support.

The term kiinnonlähteeksi gained popularity in Finland due to its straightforward and relatable nature. It emphasizes the importance of initial momentum and community engagement in the success of a project. The Finnish approach to kiinnonlähteeksi often includes a strong emphasis on transparency and open communication, ensuring that backers are well-informed about the project's progress and goals.
