Research on Kickstarter and start crowdfunding campaign

cactus-grande commented 1 year ago

In the first step of this task we are going to learn about crowd-funding platforms, compare them (e.g. what type of project do they attract, what are the fees) and pick one (possibly more) that we will use to start funding our app. Currently we are considering:

Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/
GoFundMe https://www.gofundme.com/
Patreon https://www.patreon.com/

(At the same time we are going to create accounts on social media platforms to attract attention of the first users https://github.com/sustainity-dev/issues/issues/12 )

In the second step of this task we are going to prepare a campaign on the chosen crowd-funding platform: prepare promotional texts, articles, videos and other necessary media and launch that campaign.

Around July we gave ourselves a year to gather enough funds to start a foundation. I expect we won't succeeded at the first try and will have to retry with a second campaign having learned our lessons, so I guess the timeline will be roughly like this:

now - December - first phase: research and gathering followers
January - March - run the campaign
April - June - in case the campaign fails - learn from mistakes and try again
July - finalize founding, start a foundation and switch to more long-term form of funding
