Over the last few months we have written and re-posted many articles regarding the importance of “pre-crowdfunding” activities. These are the steps one is advised to take prior to the launch of their actual campaign. Our research has shown that nothing… wait… NOTHING impacts the success or failure of a crowdfunding project as much as the pre-launch efforts that the campaign creator undertakes.
Well… Life for the Crowdfund Campaign Creator just got a whole lot better!! We pride ourselves on finding new crowdfunding industry players before many of our industry friends, so we were surprised when this absolute WINNER slipped by us.
Prefundia arrived on the scene in September 2013 and made an immediate impact on the crowdfunding landscape. They have combined numerous pre-crowdfunding activities in to a user friendly, visually appealing platform. Along with these functionality, they have a very informative blog, with a very good explanation of the Kickstarter Algorithm.
Most impressive is their almost immediate rise in traffic driving them as high as 35,000 in Alexa traffic rank. Not an easy feat for a site in their first month of operation.
After reaching out to Prefundia, we received this history and description of the services they provide:
“Prefundia is a crowdfunding pre-launch service designed to help creators build enough of a following before they launch that when they do go live on a crowdfunding platform, their project blows up on day one.”
“The service is remarkably effective – Kickstarter’s success rate is 44%, IndieGoGo’s is estimated at 9%, but projects that actively use Prefundia before they launch are successful 71% of the time and raise 147% more money.”
“Prefundia was built by a team of entrepreneurs (Andrew Jensen, Daniel Falabella, and Jeff Schwarting) who themselves have launched over 20 crowdfunding campaigns and saw a need for such a tool as they prepared their projects.”
“Due to the unique approach of Prefundia, which consolidates all pre-launch projects on a single platform, the service has grown a community of users who visit the site regularly to check out what’s coming next.”
“Projects on Prefundia have raised over $2.6 million since it’s launch just three months ago and the site is growing rapidly.”
Prefundia has solved the problem of where to place your pre-crowdfunding launch page! If you have read our past posts, you are
very familiar with the concept of the pre-launch landing page and the impact it will have on your eventual success.
