No application. No approval queue. Sign in, write it, publish it.

What it fixes

  • Creators

    Your campaign only reaches the people you already know.

    Here, whoever shares it earns from the pledges they bring.

  • Sharers

    You share campaigns for free, and nobody pays you for your reach.

    Here, you earn up to 18.5% of each pledge your link brings.

  • Backers

    On donation sites, if the project never happens, the money is gone.

    Here, it waits in escrow. Goal missed? You take it back, minus the fees taken at pledge.

Swipe. Tap. Done.

One feed. Back a project or raise money for yours.

Questions

Your pledge sits in an escrow account the program controls, not in a CoFunders account. Under the program's rules, only the creator can claim a campaign's funds once it reaches its goal, and only you can take your pledge back if it misses. The program can still be upgraded, and today one key we hold can upgrade it (see /security).

How money is held

Joining and browsing are free. Our fee is 1.5% plus a small flat fee on each pledge.

Your balance, yes, any time and with no platform fee. A pledge to a campaign that reached its goal stays with the creator.

Share campaigns, invite friends or raise money for your idea.

Ways to earn

No. You sign in with your email.

The creator owes you what they promised, but a funded campaign can't be reversed. Only back what you can afford to part with.
