What is CrowdfundFlow?
CrowdfundFlow is a privacy-first crowdfunding platform built for creators who want to raise funds without handing over their data or their backers’ money to a middleman. Here’s how we’re different from traditional crowdfunding sites.
You keep the keys
Unlike Kickstarter or Indiegogo, we don’t hold your money. Creators set a donation address (e.g. Monero); backers send funds directly to that address. No platform wallet, no withdrawal delays, no frozen accounts.
Privacy by default
We’re Monero-first. XMR gives you private, censorship-resistant payments. We also minimize personal data: only your @username is public, no real name or email required. Chat with creators is end-to-end encrypted so we can’t read it.
Built for trust & collaboration
Every project shows the creator’s track record (projects delivered). Use the forum and updates tab to see roadmap and progress. Offer help via “Help needed,” or chat privately with creators before you back.
No gatekeepers, no custody of funds, no selling your data. Just a place to fund and be funded, with privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about CrowdfundFlow
How does CrowdfundFlow work?
Creators launch campaigns with a funding goal and deadline. Supporters back projects they believe in. If the goal is reached by the deadline, funds go to the creator. You can also collaborate on projects through our forum and help requests.
Is it free to start a project?
Yes. Creating an account and launching a project is free. We may apply a small platform fee on successful campaigns. Check our Terms of Service for current fees.
How do I support a project?
Browse projects on the Discover page, open one you like, and use the contribution options (crypto or donation address) to back it. You can also offer help on the Collaborate tab and chat privately with creators.
Are my messages private?
Yes. Our Chat feature is end-to-end encrypted. Only you and the person you’re chatting with can read messages. Not even we can see them. You’re identified by your @username for privacy.
What if a project doesn’t reach its goal?
It depends on the project. Some use “all-or-nothing” funding where backers are only charged if the goal is met. Check each project’s terms. You can also reach out to creators via Chat or the forum.
How do you handle privacy?
We minimize what’s visible on the platform: only your @username is shown publicly, not your name or email. Private chat is end-to-end encrypted so only you and the other person can read it. We don’t sell your data. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
Can I use Monero (XMR)?
Yes. Creators can add a donation address for any cryptocurrency, including Monero (XMR). If a project lists an XMR address, you can send contributions directly to it. We don’t control or custody funds—payments go from your wallet to the creator’s address.
How are backers protected from scams?
We use several safeguards: (1) Creator track record: each project shows whether the creator has delivered past projects. (2) Transparency: use the forum and chat to ask questions before backing. Always check the creator's delivery history.
What if a creator doesn't deliver?
For direct donations (e.g. XMR address): funds go straight to the creator. We recommend only backing creators with a good track record. If a creator doesn't deliver, contact them via chat or the forum; we don't custody funds so we can't reverse payments.
