We’re flipping the traditional crowdfunding model on its head, placing Fans at the heart of everything, putting the power of that initial creative spark in the hands of the Fans.
If Fans launch a cool idea and pledge enough support, Creators will be inspired and empowered to deliver what their Fans want most.
So begin dreaming, start exploring, and shape your FanFuture.
—We’re all a Fan of something cool, let’s get the future we deserve!
Fan-centric Crowdfunding
We empower Fans to launch campaigns describing the future they want while pledging funds to encourage Creators to make it reality.
Crowdfunding Evolved
Crowdfunding had it’s moment // Crowdcommissioning would like a word
We’re flipping the traditional crowdfunding model on its head and placing Fans at the heart of everything.
In old-school, top-down crowdfunding models, the campaign Creator tells the Fan community exactly what they’re offering to create and asks you to support that specific effort with your financial pledges, hoping their plan is close enough to what you actually wanted and are willing to pay for.
Doing this successfully requires tremendous market research and planning because the right project, product, price point and campaign goal are crucial, and all of that presupposes the Creator first understands what the Fans genuinely want.
We counter those headwinds by putting the power of that initial creative spark in the hands of the Fans while opening up a risk-free window for Creators into the previously unseen market desires of their Fans.
Succeeding Where Traditional Crowdfunding Fails
Increased Upside with Lower Risk & Burden for Creators
When Fans are empowered to lead the charge, there is less risk of failure and less burden of time and energy placed on the eventual Creator, all while the field of creative options is thrown wide open!
A Safer Seat at the Table for BIG Creators
FanFuture also removes traditional barriers to entry such as ‘fear of failure’ and ‘risk to brand’ for well established Creators who have been hesitant to utilize traditional crowdfunding models—now these big players can wait to engage until the necessary market forces are already aligned.
Even if a massively successful, A-List Creator signs on to a Fan campaign that ultimately fails to meet the Creator’s required targets, it’s difficult to frame that as a failure by the Creator, since it wasn’t their idea in the first place! They we’re simply engaging their Fans and saying, ‘Yea, that’s kind of a fun, intriguing future–if enough of you really support that, I can help make that happen.’ The Creator gets all the headlines and genuinely deserved props for engaging with their Fans while it’s ultimately on the Fans to ‘put up or shut up’ right?
More Fun and Creative Engagement for Fans
Fans are the spark behind all our campaigns and it’s their creativity and passion that ultimately attracts Creators and draws them into the conversation toward a collaborative future.
Fans love to dream, we give them a bigger platform to share their dreams along with a viable path toward making it reality.
We also encourage Fans to collaborate and build stronger campaigns together, fostering community and engagement through shared future building and dreaming on our community forum.
Creative and Compassionate
Since we believe the future should be fun & fair, beautiful & just, expansive & inclusive, inspired/creative & compassionate, we’re giving away at least 1% of all funds raised to charity.
