Though headquartered in San Francisco, Indiegogo can actually count its birthplace as Park City, Utah. Five years ago this January, Indiegogo launched at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival — beginning a legacy of supporting independent filmmakers and helping to bring crowdfunding into the public eye.
In the five years since, we still love film and have extended far beyond it — crowdfunding everything from a baby to a mosque to a Tesla museum — and we’re exciting to be going back to Sundance to celebrate our 5th birthday!
This year, our co-founder and CEO, Slava Rubin, will be joined by Indiegogo’s resident film geeks, Brad Wyman and John T. Trigonis, for two data-driven and best-practice-filled events tailored specifically for filmmakers. If you’re going to be at Sundance and you’re new to crowdfunding or have already run a campaign, this is a great opportunity to up your crowdfunding game and meet key members of the Indiegogo team and community.
Each of our two events will include a special guest — and we’re throwing a party at our panel on Monday, January 21st! Join us for crowdfunding know-how and drinks on us.
