Fundl is a reward-based crowdfunding platform where verified metrics replace blind trust.
What is Fundl?
Fundl is a web-based crowdfunding platform that displays live, source-verified data from connected tools—Stripe for revenue, GitHub for development activity, and analytics for audience size—directly on each project page. Creators input their accounts, and the platform automatically pulls and refreshes metrics like MRR, commit counts, and monthly active users. The platform is developed by Fundl and runs entirely in the browser.
Key Features
- Source‑verified metrics – Data comes directly from connected Stripe, GitHub, and analytics accounts; no manual screenshots or entered numbers.
- Auto‑refresh – Connected metrics update automatically throughout the campaign, so backers always see the latest numbers.
- Direct Stripe payouts – Contributions flow directly to the creator’s own Stripe account; Fundl never holds or escrows funds.
- Reward‑based, no equity – Backers receive rewards (not equity or tokens) for their support.
- Five‑minute project setup – Create a project, set a funding goal and timeline, and link accounts in a few steps.
- Cross‑project comparison – Every project uses the same proof layer (verified metrics), making it easier for backers to compare.
- Free to create – No upfront cost to launch a project; payments are processed via Stripe’s standard fees.
Who is it for?
- Founders with traction who want to raise capital without VC gatekeeping and can show real MRR, commit history, or audience size.
- Backers who demand evidence – Investors or supporters who want to see live data (revenue, shipping activity, user growth) before committing funds.
- SaaS, mobile app, and AI/ML creators – Projects in categories like B2B SaaS, consumer health apps, and AI audio generation are already live on the platform.
What can you do with Fundl?

FAQ
How do I create a project?
Sign up, click “Create,” fill in your project name, funding goal, and timeline, then connect your Stripe and GitHub accounts. The platform guides you through the 5‑minute setup.
How does funding work?
Backers browse projects with live verified metrics. When they choose to support a project, they pay via Stripe Checkout. Funds go directly to the creator’s Stripe account—no platform holds or delays.
What are verified metrics?
Verified metrics are live data pulled from the creator’s own Stripe (MRR), GitHub (commits), and analytics (monthly active users). Numbers refresh automatically and are never manually entered.
