Indiegogo is a crowdfunding platform that allows individuals and organizations to raise funds for their creative projects, entrepreneurial ventures, or personal causes. Founded in 2008, Indiegogo enables users to create campaigns and seek financial support from a global audience.

Creators set a funding goal and a deadline for their campaign, and supporters can contribute money to help them reach that goal. In return, backers often receive rewards or perks based on their level of contribution. Projects on Indiegogo can range from innovative technology products and films to artistic endeavors and charitable initiatives.

Unlike traditional funding methods, crowdfunding on platforms like Indiegogo provides a way for creators to connect directly with their audience and gather support before their project comes to fruition. If the campaign reaches its funding goal by the deadline, the project creator receives the pledged funds, minus fees charged by the platform. If the goal is not met, backers are typically not charged, providing a level of protection for supporters.

Kickstarter and Indiegogo are both crowdfunding platforms that allow individuals and organizations to raise funds for their projects.

There are some small differences between both platforms, but those differences don’t affect the backers directly. Those differences are such as, approval stages, geographical background check and project page checks. There are some fee differences which both platforms charge, but those are deducted from the creator not by the backers themselves.

While both platforms share similarities, these differences can influence a creator's choice between Kickstarter and Indiegogo based on their project's nature and their preferred funding approach.

Indiegogo has a global reach, allowing us to connect with backers from around the world. This can be advantageous for projects with international appeal.

Indiegogo provides a platform for our project to gain exposure. The platform itself promotes campaigns, and successful projects may be featured, bringing additional attention to our work. With that, we reach to different backers and increase our community span with different marketing campaigns.

Indiegogo enables us to engage directly with our backers, building a community around the project. This connection is always valuable for us to receive feedback, creating a loyal fan base, and fostering ongoing support.

After our one-month Kickstarter campaign, we received comments from the community expressing that they had missed the campaign and wished to support us. Consequently, we have decided to extend our efforts to Indiegogo, aiming to reach a different audience within the community.

No, you don’t! Thank you already for backing our product set. In case you want to add up different products in your pledge, you can always do it but other than that, you don’t have to contribute again.

No, certainly not. Indiegogo’s default checkout page comes with a “Indiegogo Tip” that shows a tip amount on the screen. You can click the tip and select “Other amount” and tip anything you want including “0”. This tip directly goes to Indiegogo without affecting our revenue, therefore it’s your choice to contribute to Indiegogo.
