Indiegogo is a way for people all over the world to join forces to make ideas happen. Since 2008, millions of contributors have empowered hundreds of thousands of inventors, musicians, do-gooders, filmmakers—and other game-changers—to bring big dreams to life.
Indiegogo is democratizing the way ideas get funded and realized across the globe. We have a simple mission: to empower everyone to change the world, one idea at a time. We provide the tools to help campaigns—large and mainstream, or small and personal—boost the awareness and funds to get there.
"Indiegogo challenges the top-down model by affording artists the opportunity to make their case directly to the public. It's profoundly empowering."
"I've contributed to more than 80 film campaigns on Indiegogo because real creativity comes from smaller, independent productions and crowdfunding gives me the opportunity to be involved."
"My dream in life is to make the world a better place. Enabling people to raise capital using Indiegogo is my way of fulfilling that dream."
When people join forces around a common goal, dreams can be realized. Rewind to 2008: Danae Ringelmann was an MBA student trying to open an Off-Broadway play. Eric Schell searched for funds for a Chicago theater company in his spare time. Slava Rubin started a charity event for myeloma cancer research after losing his father to the disease. Their struggles to find funding revealed a fundamental flaw in the system: For centuries, access to funds has been controlled by a select few. Danae, Eric, and Slava started Indiegogo in order to revolutionize the flow of funding, so it can reach and grow the ideas that matter.
Now, the future is determined by you. And we’re just getting started.
