Crowd Supply is a crowdfunding platform based in Portland, Oregon. [5] [6] [3] The platform has claimed "over twice the success rate of Kickstarter and Indiegogo", [7] and partners with creators who use it, providing mentorship resembling a business incubator. [8] [9] [10]
Some see Crowd Supply's close management of projects as the solution to the fulfillment failure rate of other crowdfunding platforms. [11] The site also serves as an online store for the inventories of successful campaigns. [12]
Notable projects from the platform include Andrew Huang's Novena, an open-source laptop. [13]
In 2015, Crowd Supply became compliant with the Free Software Foundation's Free JavaScript campaign and was endorsed as the FSF's preferred crowdfunding platform. [14] [3]
