I really hope this actually already built and not some sort of "launch-rock page to see if theres buy-in" lean methodology thing going on here

  Hi, no we're already building the application right now, all designs and wireframes are already done. Our planning is to launch around this July/August

What does this do that other crowdfunding sites don't do?
- mimbee 13y ago
  Our focus is collecting donations for charity or just easily collecting money among friends with an online "collection box" Fundraising for products is just a side-product what is possibile with our system. It's not our main focus, kickstarter and indigogo are better with that ;)

  Agreed. This site has nothing to show us on how its going to "collect". The standard "Hey, share this with friends and get them to donate too" is not ground-breaking. I've seen some REALLY cool ideas in this space and they never saw the light of day since the person(s) didnt want to take it places

My initial reaction was that this must be the tech startup version of a collection agency. Like the ones you sell your debt to who harass people to pay up (I assume there's eventually visits from some sketchy looking guy who says something about "kneecaps"). You might want to reconsider the terminology here.

  Hi, We're definitely not a collection agency or something. I can see why you were thinking that if you read the website that way ;). You can compare the platform with what Paypal does with their "donate"-button. Only now you're not stuck to Paypal and you can pick the payment providers you would like. Besides that we do have eye for design, customer support and what donations should be about. But for further releases I will take another look at our terminology and references with more images/screenshots of our application.
