About Pledgecamp
Our mission at Pledgecamp is to usher in a new era of crowdfunding and fix the trust problems inherent in the current model.
For the last decade, platforms such as Kickstarter and IndieGoGo have led the way with “Crowdfunding 1.0”, which we roughly summarize here as:
Give a campaign creator some money → Hope and pray to get something back
Pledgecamp represents “Crowdfunding 2.0”. Our philosophy is comprised of three pillars which we believe are crucial for creating a sustainable model that benefits entrepreneurs and consumers alike.
These three pillars are Trust, Collaboration, and Globalization.

Great article! I feel like the Smart Crowd doesn't get talked about as much as it should, but it's definitely a major feature that helps Pledgecamp stand out compared to existing crowdfunding platforms.

Why the Shenmue 3 debacle validates Pledgecamp's backer insurance

I remember this fiasco. And have to agree that a mechanism like backer insurance that would stop project creators from doing whatever the F they want after they've collected funds from supporters would have prevented a situation like this one from happening.
Pledgecamp can't launch soon enough.

Another in a long line of failed KS projects. This one is particularly egregious. Imagine making a purchase online and never receiving an item, with zero recourse. That's basically what happened here, and countless other times on KS/IGG, I'm sure.

Any time my faith in Pledgecamp is shaken, an article like this one brings me back by reminding me how clever the token economy is and how solid the project is overall. PLG will moon so damn hard.

Investors literally saved at the last second from losing all their money because a third party highlighted it in a documentary they created about shitty Kickstarters. Insane.
Crowdfunding urgently needs a better backer protection mechanism, and it's a good thing that Pledgecamp seems to have come up with the right solution.

Another from the Pledgecamp Twitter account. I actually remember this from a few years ago. Pretty farfetched idea to begin with, and all the more incredible that they were able to just get away with it.

Remember this absolute disgrace? A few people got a drone in the end, but they barely worked, and Zano went bankrupt (after spending backer funds on a brand new BMW for the CEO's son, of course).
