Indiegogo Raises $15mm to Become Funding Platform for All

Since we launched Indiegogo in 2008, we’ve been focused on democratizing fundraising, and creating a platform that allows anybody to raise money for anything, from anywhere.

We’ve come a long way since then.

Indiegogo now distributes millions of dollars to campaigners in nearly 200 countries, has partnered with the White House, and provides everyone the opportunity to fund their creative, entrepreneurial, or cause campaigns – from Funkmaster George Clinton archiving his music collection to the Haley family crowdfunding the world’s first baby.

Today, we’re excited to announce a new round of funding with two of the most respected venture firms in the world – Insight Venture Partners and Khosla Ventures – sharing our vision of changing the way the world gets funded.

What does this mean for you?

Since day one, we’ve been committed to providing customers with the best possible experience with our platform.

Whether it’s our Customer Happiness team providing 24 hour support, our Analytics department sharing crowdfunding best practices, or our proprietary crowdfunding campaign discovery/promotion technology (gogofactor) – we aim to provide you the best possible experience with Indiegogo.

This new round of funding will enable us to expand our focus on providing excellent service, building an even more powerful product and welcoming additional world class talent to join our team.

We’re excited for what the future has to hold and thank you for helping change the way the world gets funded. Now the only thing left for you to do is…Go Fund Yourself.
