Sponsume upgrade on 13th August

We are bringing major improvements to our platform!

 

We are about to launch Sponsume's new multilingual crowdfunding portal and add new exciting features to our funding system.

The changeover will take place on Tuesday 13th August. Unfortunately it means that, exceptionally, we will have to take the site down from 9am to 5pm (UK time). We apologise for the inconvenience caused and offer all projects currently listed on Sponsume a 48 hours deadline extension. Please email us if you wish to take advantage of the deadline extension.

 

What will change from Tuesday 13th August 5pm (UK time)?

• Spanish, French, German, Dutch and Catalan versions of Sponsume will become available
• Project creators will be able to easily create and promote multilingual versions of their campaign.
• Sponsume's New Flexible Funding system and improved checkout flow will be deployed: project creators will be able to define a minimum funding target below which backers' funds aren't debited and no fees are charged.

 

Why these changes?

• We realise that a substantial proportion of Sponsume campaigns have an international dimension, which is why we want to offer creators the possibility to crowdfund their project in a wide range of languages and currencies.
• We believe it is time for us to help crowdfund creativity across the European Union, Switzerland, Canada and Latin America.
• We want to offer our users a funding system that is more flexible than the traditional 'All or nothing' and 'Keep it all' models.

More on our new Flexible Funding System very soon...
