Crowdfunding platforms

AH Alex Hilton Public Seen by 98

Can anyone recommend any crowdfunding platforms that are run co-operatively? We're considering running a trial of crowdfunding to make accessible transcripts of podcasts in partnership with their creators. It would be great to use a co-operative platform if we can find one.

Don't know of one. We should create one.

Although I wouldn't characterise it as such, Platform 6 has a crowdfunding element to it. but it is just one element of a larger framework of support that we are working to establish.

Alex, the closest to one would probably be startsomegood.com

There's coopfunding.net, though it isn't clear how it is run. I think it might be a project of Catalan Integral Co-op, but its not obvious.

It is connected to that network, yep. Think it's part of Fair Coop.

And of course Worker Cooperative Solidarity Fund https://solidfund coop is a platform coop, although also a mutual.
