Consumer Crowdfunding

Raise funds directly from your customers and supporters in return for rewards or early access.

What It Is

Consumer crowdfunding (sometimes called reward-based crowdfunding) lets you raise money by inviting customers and supporters to contribute to your project in exchange for rewards. This could be early access to your product, exclusive merchandise, or a unique experience. Platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo are popular for this approach.

Benefits

  • Great for product-based businesses (tech, retail, creative).

  • Creates buzz and marketing momentum before launch.

  • No equity is given away.

  • Reward fulfilment can be costly and time-consuming.

Requirements:

To run a successful crowdfunding campaign, you’ll typically need:

  • A compelling pitch and campaign video.
