If you Rolled Red Bull, X-Games, and Jack Ass in to a crowdfunding platform what would you get?
THRILLPLEDGE.com
ThrillPledge is a crowdfunding site created to serve the niche of Athletes, Artists and Musicians seeking funding for their action packed passions. One thing you will not find on ThrillPledge are boring campaign creators or projects, as the site is catering to individuals who are pushing the envelope with the passion they have for thrill seeking.
We asked Peter Mackness, UK Director of ThrillPledge to tell us more about this exciting Niche Crowdfunding Site:
With all the Crowdfunding Sites around, Why choose ThrillPledge?
ThrillPledge charges no commission on project’s below $10k.
In addition, when using ThrillPledge Sponsorship and Private Backing can also be included in a project’s funding tally at no cost to the project creator.
We figure that if you are going to crowdfund, then you should go to where the crowds are – Sports and Entertainment.
We focus solely on Sports and Entertainment. With business partners in Asia/Pacific, the UK and US, we can provide you with international exposure and opportunities. Our parent company,
ThrillCapital, has been providing fan based funding solutions since 2007. Over this time, we have developed connections to talent and expertise across Sports and Entertainment. You can tap into this network to not only power your Crowdfunding campaign, but also help take your career from grass roots all the way to your professional debut.
Why no Commissions?
We are interested in funding your career in Sports or Entertainment not taking a commission on your first pledge project. It is our hope that at some point we get to raise the equity financing through our sister sites ThrillCapital and the ThrillCapital Club that will help you realize your ultimate goal in Sports and Entertainment.
Tell Us about the crowdfunding niche ThrillPledge has started –
As above, we see the future of crowdfunding as niche platforms, targeting specific demographics and aligning with specific interests, time will tell if we are correct!
What do you consider ThrillPledge’s competitive advantage in the marketplace?
Combining sponsorship and private backing is interesting to campaign owners, prospective backers and potential sponsors. The ability for sponsors to engage with their customers/consumers/audience/fans through more meaningful and targeted campaigns is powerful and something we are ‘drilling’ down into in more detail.
Pretty varied! Worked with tech start ups previously. David, MD in NZ, worked in the oil industry. A passion for Sports and Entertainment and a desire to get talent funded is what motivates us!
Where is ThrillPledge Going?
As we move forward with the equity platform, and secondary market, at ThrillCapital, we will look to incorporate some more ‘intelligent’ back office functionality to maintain a distinct point of difference.
Clearly an exciting, dare we say Thrilling Crowdfunding Platform, one we will be watching closely as they grow with the fastest growing segment in both entertainment and sports… Thrill Seeking and Pushing the Envelope
If your passion is pushing yourself to the limit and funding is the obstacle, YOU MUST have a look at ThrillPledge for your crowdfunding project.
