How we are adapting to changing times

Remember when we could all get together in person?

For the last 9 years StartSomeGood has focused on helping changemakers launch new things through crowdfunding.

We don’t just provide the tech, we offer coaching and support to help emerging entrepreneurs and innovators succeed, which has resulted in us achieving the highest project success rate in cause crowdfunding.

We have helped thousands of projects (including the Do Good Bus, pictured above) raise millions of dollars to benefit the world and are very proud of the incredible impact our community of entrepreneurs has had, improving literally millions of lives.

But at a time like this, with all the disruptions of 2020, it’s less about launching new things and more about how we sustain, save, pivot and progress what we already have.

For that, community organizations and social enterprises don’t just need a one-off fundraiser or contribution, they need reliable, ongoing support.

That’s why we’re excited to announce that we’re soon launching the biggest upgrade to the StartSomeGood platform in years: Recurring Crowdfunding.

Unlike the all-or-nothing campaigns we’re known for, Recurring Crowdfunding will be ongoing, allowing you to build a reliable supporter base over time.

This will allow community groups to build dedicated ongoing donor communities, social enterprises to offer subscription products and creative producers and community organizers to be supported longer-term.

It allows you to create a very different type of fundraising campaign, one that is focused on building a long-term community and creating a long-term impact, not just achieving an immediate fundraising goal (we’ll still help you do that through One-Time Crowdfunding campaigns of course).

We are currently recruiting for early-adopter recurring campaigns. If you’re interested in being one of the first to use this new tool, which goes live on September 18, get in touch.
