> After the campaign is launched, creators can begin receiving orders from their supporters, discuss details, create customized offers, and more. On an agreed-upon date, creators would complete their tasks, the supporter would confirm that the task has been completed, and creators would get paid. So it sounds like of like Upwork/Fiverr/etc, but with a story about why the person is trying to raise money, and an end date/amount for their offer? As an end user, what is the advantage to me of using a smaller platform like this (with far less users) compared to one of the established ones that have a much larger number of potential buyers? And if I'm making decent money through your platform, why would I want to stop when I reach the $1000 goal (or whatever I set)? And as a buyer, what kind of checks and verification do you perform so that I can trust the service I'm buying? If I hire a babysitter or a tutor, have you done background checks? Are you going to be liable (or get sued) when something goes wrong, or the builder I hire does a shoddy job? Can I get a refund if I'm not happy or the service isn't delivered? What happens if I don't pay - is the seller just left out of pocket or will you cover that? If you're pushing the local angle (which quite a few of the examples you give are), can I easily see all the local services being offered without having to sign up? If you're trying to go down that route, then you might want to think about marketing locally and trying to get a load of people in your own local area involved, before trying to launch to the wider global market. |

More like GoFundMe because there is a cause and Taskrabbit as people are offering services.
> And if I'm making decent money through your platform, why would I want to stop when I reach the $1000 goal (or whatever I set)?
Right now, the focus is on raising funds for a cause with a time limit. There may be option to offer services indefinitely, like TaskRabbit, in the future, but that's not something I'm thinking about right now, I have to get some users first to see if this whole idea even makes sense and iterations in any direction can always come later as the project grows, if it grows.
> If you're pushing the local angle Yes, I'm pushing the local angle, I think this platform would work best if creators and supporters know each other directly or through people they know. That way a lot of scams could also be avoided.
In case the service isn't delivered, or you're not happy, you can report it using the support system and we'll try to resolve it. If you paid with card, there will be an option to get a refund and if you selected cash payments, you would have to resolve that with the campaign creator on the spot.
And yes, you will be able to see current campaigns in your area but first I need to get some users and campaigns. :) Published campaigns are just placeholders so people could see how campaigns should work.
