Indiegogo Launches Next-Generation Crowdfunding Platform

The new platform introduces advanced creator tools, enhanced trust and verification, and a powerful new foundation for the next decade of crowdfunding innovation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Indiegogo, one of the world's leading crowdfunding platforms, today unveiled a completely reimagined product experience, rebuilt from the ground up on infrastructure first used on Gamefound, the biggest crowdfunding platform dedicated to gaming. The new Indiegogo platform represents a major leap forward in crowdfunding technology — offering creators more powerful tools to build and grow their campaigns and giving backers a seamless, trusted experience from launch to fulfillment.

Some of the powerful new features launching with the platform include an Advanced Pledge Manager to streamline fulfillment and help creators deliver campaigns more efficiently; support for 20+ global payment methods alongside innovative programs like Stretch Pay and Stable Pledge to make backing easier and more flexible; and Endgame, a post-campaign optimization tool that has been shown to increase average campaign funding by up to 4%. Creators can also use Follower Gifts to boost conversion rates by more than 20%, and leverage Adfound, a fully built-in performance marketing solution that helps campaigns scale faster.

As part of this evolution, Indiegogo will now standardize all campaigns on Fixed Funding, retiring the flexible funding model that previously allowed projects to collect funds regardless of goal completion. A simplified fee structure — 5% platform fee plus 3% + $0.20 payment processing —and an updated onboarding and KYC process adds stronger safeguards to help verify creators and catch potential issues before campaigns go live — raising the bar for transparency and trust across the industry.

"This launch is more than a product update — it's the foundation for Indiegogo's next decade," said Julie dePontbriand, CEO of Indiegogo. "We've listened to creators and backers, and this new platform delivers the reliability, transparency, and growth tools they've been asking for. It's designed to help great ideas succeed — from launch day to delivery."
