Indiegogo is an American crowdfunding platform founded in 2008 by Danae Ringelmann, Slava Rubin, and Eric Schell, headquartered in San Francisco. The platform enables entrepreneurs, inventors, and creators to raise funds for innovative products, creative projects, and charitable causes from a global community of backers. Indiegogo is particularly known for hardware, technology, and design campaigns, and offers both fixed and flexible funding options. By 2025 the platform had hosted campaigns from creators in nearly 190 countries, served a community of approximately 38 million members, and helped raise nearly $3 billion for projects worldwide. In July 2025, Indiegogo was acquired by Polish tabletop game crowdfunding platform Gamefound, with both platforms continuing to operate as separate brands while Indiegogo migrates onto Gamefound's technology stack.
