crowdfund

Fund good ideas. Free worldwide USD crowdfunds app. Made by @seedclub. https://warpcast.com/miniapps/gmCdY4LOmur4/crowdfund

I want to hire somebody to personally contact every team that wins a Coinbase/Base Grant and pitch them on raising USDC for their project with no fees on @crowdfund today. 

I want this person to do this over and over until the heat death of the universe. I want every builder on Base who wins a prize to know about @crowdfund. 

Who wants this gig?

director of product @seedclub. we built @crowdfund. i design & dev social, crypto, and ai soffware. i interview crypto builders @ web3galaxybrain.com.

Logically I see that but sharing how it feels fyi

usdc is usdc. we need to do work to make the brand known for projects, not only charity. i dont think anyone is choosing *between* crowdfunds, they’re supporting individual projects that resonate.

I am a base grant winner but raising a crowdfund feels kinda out of place when a lot of them are like for funding cancer treatment for blind orphans and whatnot. I feel like I am taking money from the orphans

building @dau and @boostxyz to help app devs grow onchain with tokens

It’s like VC investing but by The People instead of by VC’s. 

Very powerful in that regard.

In its current form I think @crowdfund is well suited to “no strings attached friends and family support” style raises for solopreneurs and teams woldwide. A sucessful @crowdfund validates interest in the idea and provides money to build an MVP, hire professional services providers, or host somthing IRL. 

An ambitious team could absolutely use it as a pre-sale tool by exporting the CSV of supporters and proportionally airdropping them, for example. 

Crowdfund is a very efficient way to collect USDC while mobilising social proof on Farcaster. 

I suspect a proper investment platform would require more direct relationship between money in and a token warrant or equity out, but I also think people are creative and should show us how to use the tool the way @bertwurst.eth @tricil.eth an @tako-unik @pauline-unik have. I think Base Grant recipients could use their prizes as credentials that prove their worth and access a new audience of fans and financial supporters with @crowdfund. 

What do you think?

is it for philanthropic reasons you'd want builders to do this or investment?
