Apollo is OpenCentric's crowdfunding marketplace. Unlike Kickstarter, there's no 60-day cliff. Creators publish when they're ready, offer early-bird tiers to the first believers, and release funds as they hit real milestones. We take 5% — nothing more.
A permanent fundraising surface. Publish your concept, run early-bird tiers, release funds against real progress milestones.
Describe what you're building — pricing tiers, milestones, what backers get. Apollo pages live in the catalog and stay open as long as you want. No artificial clock.
Early-bird tiers reward the first supporters. The AI orchestrator surfaces your campaign to relevant audiences across the mesh. No countdown. No all-or-nothing cliff.
Apollo holds pledges in escrow. As you hit milestones — prototype, beta, ship — funds release in tranches. No backer pays for vaporware.
When you ship, backers convert to paying customers automatically. OpenCentric takes 5% on each tranche; you keep the rest and the customer base you built.
Nine categories. Pledge tiers starting at $5. No deadlines — early-bird tiers reward the first believers, and funds release against verified progress.
No deadline pressure. No winner-takes-all funding cliff. Early-bird tiers reward your first believers — OpenCentric takes only 5% on what you raise, after each milestone.
Kickstarter pioneered crowdfunding for consumers. Apollo is built for builders — the infrastructure, escrow mechanics, and conversion model are fundamentally different.
