Crowd Supply is a crowdfunding platform based in Portland, Oregon. Boasting "over twice the success rate of Kickstarter and Indiegogo", the platform partners with creators who utilize the service, providing mentorship akin to a business incubator.
The platform has garnered positive attention for the high success rate of its products, with some seeing its close management of projects as the solution to the fulfillment failure rate on other crowdfunding platforms. The site also serves as an online store for the inventories of successful campaigns.
Notable projects from the platform include Andrew Huang's Novena, an open source laptop.
Endorsement by Free Software Foundation
In 2015, Crowd Supply became compliant with the Free Software Foundation's Free JavaScript campaign, and was endorsed as the FSF's preferred platform for crowd-funding efforts.
