Gamefound’s technology meets Indiegogo’s massive user base
Gamefound, based in Wroclaw, Poland, has spent years building a platform designed to rival Kickstarter in the tabletop crowdfunding space. Their secret? A focus on building a platform “at least twice as good as the next competitor,” according to CEO Marcin Świerkot. Now, with Indiegogo’s incredible reach and community, Gamefound plans to revolutionize crowdfunding for creators across all categories.
Indiegogo, founded in 2008, has raised nearly $3 billion and boasts 38 million users worldwide. Gamefound aims to enhance this experience by integrating features like a mobile app, support for multiple languages, a wider range of payment methods, and a pledge management system that lets backers easily modify orders after campaigns end.
Creator-friendly changes on the horizon
Both companies emphasize a shift towards a more creator-friendly crowdfunding environment. Gamefound promises to make Indiegogo’s pricing and terms more attractive for creators, helping them launch and manage campaigns with greater ease and flexibility.
Indiegogo CEO Julie dePontbriand stated, “It’s time for crowdfunding to be a forward-facing industry again. Gamefound’s technology is unrivaled on the market, and we are thrilled to bring it to Indiegogo’s diverse community of creators. Together, we’re making crowdfunding more innovative, creator-friendly, and exciting than ever before.”
Gamefound’s rise in the tabletop world
Gamefound has been growing rapidly, raising over $165 million in 2024 alone. It hosts many of the year’s biggest board game campaigns, partnering with well-known creators who already have dedicated audiences. Some standout projects include Nemesis: Retaliation, the third installment in Awaken Realms’ sci-fi horror series, and Go On Board’s Cyberpunk 2077: The Board Game.
This merger not only expands Gamefound’s capabilities but also signals a more competitive and innovative future for crowdfunding in the tabletop gaming community and beyond.
