Founded in 2008, Indiegogo is one of the original pioneers of reward-based crowdfunding, with a community of 38 million members and nearly $3 billion raised for ideas around the world. The platform supports a wide range of project types \u2014 including technology, design, film, arts, and creative media such as podcasts, blogs, and vlogs \u2014 allowing creators to set funding goals, offer backer perks, and build an audience before and during their campaign.<\/p>\n
In July 2025, Indiegogo was acquired by Gamefound, the leading tabletop crowdfunding platform, and migrated to Gamefound’s technology stack on October 16, 2025. This upgrade introduced a built-in Pledge Manager, Late Pledge (post-campaign funding), stretch goals, built-in analytics, multilingual support, 20+ global payment methods including Stretch Pay, and a new KYC compliance process. Flexible Funding was retired as part of this migration; all campaigns now run on Fixed Funding with stretch goals.<\/p>\n
For podcasters and other creative media creators, Indiegogo offers a way to crowdfund a new show, season, or special project directly from their audience. The platform’s open acceptance policy (no prototype required, no pre-approval needed) and post-campaign Late Pledge feature make it accessible for concept-stage projects. However, reviewers note that product-based campaigns tend to outperform creative media campaigns on the platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
