Kickstarter / Indiegogo

Ulule says it is the top service for starting and financing projects. Its home page describes it as a service for starting, training and financing projects, and it groups projects under categories such as publishing and media, places and stores, music, games, and comics and manga. It also shows thematic channels and calls for proposals run with partners, on themes such as ageing, caregiving, energy transition and inclusion. Some of the page text is in French, so check which languages and countries the platform really serves.

Before launching a campaign on any crowdfunding platform, compare the model. Check whether funds are collected only if the goal is reached or whether you keep what you raise, what fees the platform and its payment partner take, how fast you are paid, and which countries backers can pay from. Look at past projects in your category to see what size of goal is realistic, and read the rules on rewards, shipping and taxes in your own country. Keep your backer list and project page under your control so you can reuse them.
