Fundl

Fundl is a revolutionary reward-based crowdfunding platform engineered on a radical premise: backers deserve proof, not just promises. In an ecosystem saturated with slick pitch decks and charismatic founder videos, Fundl introduces a paradigm shift by allowing creators to connect their real, live data sources directly to their project pages. This means when you visit a campaign, you are not looking at curated screenshots or aspirational forecasts; you are witnessing actual numbers pulled straight from tools like Stripe for revenue, GitHub for development activity, and analytics platforms for audience size. There is no manual entry, no outdated information, just the unvarnished truth, auto-refreshed throughout the campaign lifecycle. Fundl is designed for two distinct groups. First, it empowers founders and creators who already have real traction. If you have a growing Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), an active development team shipping code, or a steadily increasing user base, Fundl provides a direct pathway to raise funds without the traditional gatekeeping of venture capital. You can showcase your momentum and let your metrics speak for themselves. Second, it serves backers who demand evidence before commitment. Instead of trusting a charismatic pitch, you can inspect the underlying health of a project, verify revenue growth, development activity, and user retention. The funding process is refreshingly direct: when a backer supports a project, their contribution goes directly to the creator's Stripe account. Fundl never holds the funds, removing risk and complexity. This transforms crowdfunding from a leap of faith into an informed decision based on verified, live metrics.

Live Source-Verified Metrics

Fundl pulls data directly from connected creator accounts like Stripe, GitHub, and analytics platforms. This eliminates the possibility of manual manipulation or outdated screenshots. Backers see real-time MRR, commit counts, and active user numbers that refresh automatically throughout the campaign. This feature builds an unbreakable chain of trust between creators and supporters.

Direct Stripe Payment Processing

When a backer decides to fund a project, their contribution flows directly into the creator's Stripe account. Fundl never holds or escrows the funds, removing a layer of risk and complexity. This ensures creators receive instant access to capital while backers know their money is going straight to the builder they trust, supported by the data they verified.

Automated Data Refreshing

Fundl continuously updates all connected data sources without any manual intervention from the creator. This means the MRR, GitHub commits, and audience metrics displayed on a project page are always the most current numbers. This automation ensures that backers are making decisions based on the latest traction signals, not stale information.

Unified Comparison Dashboard

Every project on Fundl displays the same standardized proof layer, making it easy for backers to compare opportunities side-by-side. Whether evaluating revenue signals, build activity, or audience growth, backers have a consistent framework for assessment. This transparency democratizes the funding process and shifts focus from charisma to concrete evidence.

SaaS Founder Seeking Growth Capital

A SaaS founder with a proven MRR of $12,450 and a 23% monthly growth rate can use Fundl to raise capital without pitching to venture capitalists. By connecting their Stripe and GitHub accounts, they display live revenue and development activity. Backers see the real traction and can fund the next phase of product development, knowing their money supports a growing business.

Open Source Project Needing Community Support

An open source project maintainer with 48 weekly commits and a growing user base of 2,547 MAU can launch a Fundl campaign. They connect their GitHub repository to show live development momentum. Backers can inspect the commit frequency and project activity, ensuring their contributions support an actively maintained and improving codebase.

Content Creator Monetizing Audience Growth

A content creator with a verified audience of 2,547 monthly active users can launch a reward-based campaign for a new project or product line. By connecting their analytics platform, they provide transparent proof of their reach and engagement. Backers can see the real audience size and growth trend before committing to support the creator's next venture.

Hardware Startup Validating Demand

A hardware startup with early revenue signals from pre-orders can use Fundl to raise additional funds for production. By connecting their Stripe account, they display live sales data and revenue trends. Backers can inspect the actual demand for the product before backing, reducing the risk associated with hardware crowdfunding campaigns.

How does Fundl verify that the data is real?

Fundl connects directly to the creator's accounts on platforms like Stripe, GitHub, and analytics tools via secure API integrations. This means the numbers displayed are pulled from the source, not manually entered or screenshot. There is no opportunity for manipulation, as the data refreshes automatically from the connected accounts throughout the campaign.

What happens to my money when I back a project?

Your contribution goes directly to the creator's Stripe account. Fundl never holds or escrows the funds. This direct payment path ensures creators get paid instantly and backers know their money is going straight to the builder. It removes the risk of a platform holding funds and simplifies the entire transaction process.

Is Fundl an investment platform?

No, Fundl is a reward-based crowdfunding platform. Contributions are not investments and do not offer equity, financial returns, or any ownership stake in the project. Backers support creators in exchange for rewards, which are typically products, services, or experiences offered by the creator. The verified metrics provide context but are not a guarantee of delivery or future performance.

What types of data can creators connect to their project?

Creators can connect multiple data sources including Stripe for revenue metrics like MRR and total sales, GitHub for development activity like commits and pull requests, and analytics platforms for audience size and growth. Fundl is designed to be flexible, allowing creators to showcase the traction signals most relevant to their project and industry.
