WHAT IS INDIEGOGO? We invented crowdfunding to make ideas GO – from concept to reality, from innovator to backer, from campaign launch, and beyond. We connect the right backers with products, ideas, and innovations they care about – before they go mainstream. Why does that matter? It doesn’t matter how large our backer community is (20 million+ btw) if they aren’t the “right” audience for our campaigners. By committing to accelerating innovation, we rally, excite, and connect target backers with innovators right out of the gate.
