πŸš€ Overview The Funding Hub lets you launch crowdfunding campaigns to raise money for your ideas. Creating a project is a guided 3-step wizard that walks you through everything from choosing your funding strategy to adding reward tiers. Step 1: Choose Your Funding Strategy When you click "Launch Project" in the Funding Hub, the first thing you choose is how funds are collected: All-or-Nothing β€” You receive funds only if your project reaches its goal by the deadline. This builds trust and momentum with backers. Open Funding β€” Funds are received as they come in, no minimum goal required. Ideal for ongoing causes or community projects. Select the model that fits your project and click "Continue β†’". Step 2: Fill in Project Details This is the core of your campaign. You will fill in: Project Title β€” A clear, compelling name for your project. Tagline β€” A short description that appears under your title. Goal Amount ($) β€” How much funding you need. End Date β€” The deadline for your campaign. Description β€” A rich-text area to tell your story. Use formatting, headings, and images. Video URL β€” Paste a YouTube, Vimeo, or Facebook video embed link. Pitch Deck (PDF) β€” Upload one or more PDF documents for backers to review. Payment Address β€” Your Lightning/BTC address for crypto contributions. SDGs β€” Select which UN Sustainable Development Goals your project aligns with. ✨ AI Smart Assistants You don't have to write everything from scratch! Use the smart assistants at the top of the details form: πŸͺ„ AI Auto-Generate β€” Describe your idea in 1-2 sentences and AI will generate a professional title, tagline, description, and goal amount. πŸ“₯ Import Data β€” Paste a URL from an existing campaign and we will extract and pre-fill the form. πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ Storyteller Agent β€” Share your vision and the Storyteller will craft a compelling narrative for your campaign. Step 3: Add Rewards / Products Reward tiers incentivize backers to pledge more. For each tier, you set: Reward Title β€” e.g., "Early Bird", "Supporter Pack" Amount ($) β€” The minimum pledge to claim this reward. Description β€” What the backer receives. Items Available β€” How many of this reward are available (limited supply). Estimated Delivery β€” e.g., "Dec 2026". Click "+ Add Tier" to add as many tiers as you need. When you're ready, click "πŸš€ Launch Project". πŸŽ‰ After Launch Once launched, your project appears in the Funding Hub for all users to discover, back, and vote on. You can continue managing it from the Project Command Center (see the separate guide).
