How to launch a crowdfunding platform in 10 business days*

What you provide

• A domain name (we can advise if you are still choosing one).
• Your logo and brand colors.
• Hosting access, or choose Launch + Managed and we host it for you.
• A Stripe account that supports Connect in your country.
• Business details for your legal pages: company name, address and a contact email.
• A few decisions: your platform fee percentage, your funding model (all-or-nothing, flexible, or both) and your campaign categories.

Days 1 to 2: kickoff and inputs

We start with a call to confirm the decisions above and collect your logo, domain and access details. The 10 business day clock starts when we have your domain, hosting access and logo.

Days 2 to 4: install and brand

We install the platform on your domain and apply your branding: logo, favicon, site name and colors across the whole site and every email. The result is a true white label crowdfunding platform, with nothing of ours showing.

Days 4 to 6: payments

We connect Stripe Connect, set your fee split, and run a test pledge end to end, from backer checkout to creator payout, before anything goes public.

Days 6 to 8: content and search

We set up your categories and legal pages, apply the SEO defaults for your domain, and use the AI features to draft copy that you review and approve.

Days 8 to 9: review and fixes

You click through the finished platform and tell us what to change. We fix it, and we retest the payment flow once more.

Day 10: go live

We switch Stripe to live mode, run a final check, and your platform is open for its first campaign. We then run a one-hour onboarding call so you know exactly how to manage it.

What can slow things down

The usual causes are late logo files or access details, slow feedback during review, and Stripe's own account verification. That is why the clock pauses while we wait on you or on Stripe, and why we ask for the basics up front.

What happens after launch

With Launch you get 60 days of email support. With Launch + Managed we also host the platform, apply updates and security patches, keep backups and monitor it, with priority support. If you want to understand how a platform earns before you commit, read how crowdfunding platforms make money.
