Pricing
Pricing that aligns
with delivery.
Free verification. 3% on funded raises. No raise, no fee. Stripe processing passed through at cost. Foundations + family offices on bespoke Anchor terms. Zero hidden margin.
The model
Charge for delivery,
not for hope.
Crowdfunding fees should reflect what platforms actually do. Verified operators are easier to support. Milestone-locked tranches reduce risk for everyone. We pass that efficiency through to fees — 3% flat, only on funds successfully raised.
Three tracks
One platform. Three operator tracks.
Same trust rubric, same milestone-lock, same audit-grade receipts. Different operator-side tooling and pricing terms.

Pricing model
3% on funded raises.
That's it.
We don't sell ads. We don't take operator equity. We don't monetize backer data. We don't take spreads on payment processing. The only revenue line is the 3% platform fee on funds successfully raised — plus custom Anchor terms for foundations.
Not an investment platform. Contribution-based backing. No equity, securities, yield or financial returns.
Common questions, plain answers.

Yes. Initial reviewer call + verification review for the first build are free. We make money only when your build is successfully funded. If your build doesn't pass verification or doesn't fund, you owe us nothing.
Free to apply.
Pay only when you raise.
Free initial reviewer call within 2 business days. No commitment until your build is approved. Talk to us before applying — we're happy to scope your build for free.
