Edwards headlined a fundraiser in San Francisco on Wednesday, headed to a second one Wednesday evening in the Bay area suburb of Atherton and planned two more Thursday.
During an appearance at the headquarters of search-engine leader Google, Edwards said the current system of paying for campaigns is "dysfunctional."
"The way we finance political campaigns in this country, it couldn't be more unhealthy," Edwards told about 1,000 Google employees.
He called for taxpayer-financed campaigns — the only way, he said, to "literally pull the life out of these big groups — people that have a huge presence in Washington, lobbying groups."
The former senator from North Carolina was the fourth presidential candidate to submit to questioning by executives and staffers of Google.
