Building a global brand isn’t easy. That’s why Indiegogo has provided unique resources and support to China-based entrepreneurs since the debut of our China pilot program in 2015. Since then, China-based innovators on Indiegogo have raised more than $100 million to launch their products around the globe.

We’re excited to introduce the Indiegogo China Global Fast-Track Program — designed specifically to help China’s top innovators build international brands, faster. Indiegogo’s CEO, Dave Mandelbrot, will be in Shenzhen, China, this week attending the Official Indiegogo China Launch Summit to announce the program along with partners and sponsors, including MAXMOBO, Sevens 赛文思, Versa Inc., and LeMore Lab.

China’s top brands are now using Indiegogo to launch their products into international markets. Crazybaby, a leading China-based tech company, ran three successful campaigns on Indiegogo, leveraging its marketing support and network of millions to raise more than $4 million for its business.

“After comparing many options, we decided to work with Indiegogo to launch a global brand, said Allen Zang, Founder and CEO of Crazybaby. “Indiegogo has team members in China and North America to support your product launch. They respect entrepreneurs from China and other areas in Asia, and provide many resources early on.”  Read more about Crazybaby’s success here.
