Back SaaS before it ships
Pledge for the rewards founders are building: prepaid plans, lifetime deals, early access. Your card is saved and charged only if the goal is met and, in a Ship pledge, the product is live.
New way to raise
Growth: back a SaaS that is already live
A live product raises for its marketing, scale, sales or hiring. Charged at the end if the goal is met, or from the founder's minimum when one is shown.
Ship pledge, Build fund or Growth
The founder picks one for each campaign, and the campaign page always says which.

Get reviewed
We check your claims and that your Stripe account can take payments before you go live.
Reach your goal
Backers pledge for rewards you sell. You are the seller, so the contract and the invoice are yours.
Ship and get paid
Payments go straight to your Stripe account. fundmysaas only takes a fee on what you collect.
All or nothing
If the goal is not met, every pledge is released and nobody is charged. A Growth campaign may show a lower minimum instead.
14 days to withdraw
Withdraw from the contract within 14 days, in one click from your pledges.
Rewards, not returns
You buy a product or a service from the founder. Never shares, interest or a share of revenue.
For founders

Questions
Good to know
- What is fundmysaas?
- A place to back SaaS products before they ship. Founders sell early rewards, such as a prepaid subscription or a lifetime deal, and backers pledge for them.
- Do I get shares or a financial return?
- No. A pledge buys a reward from the founder, like a pre-order. It never gives shares, a share of revenue, interest or any financial return.
- When is my card charged?
- In a Ship pledge, only once the product is proven live. In a Build fund or a Growth campaign, when the campaign ends. Only if the goal is met, or the minimum a Growth campaign shows.
- Can I change my mind?
- Yes. While the campaign runs and before any charge, you can leave and your card is not charged. After a charge you have 14 days to withdraw from the contract and be refunded, from your pledges.
- Who am I buying from?
- From the founder. The contract, the invoice and the VAT are theirs, and their name and country are on the campaign page. Payments go to their Stripe account: fundmysaas never holds your money.
- What if the product never ships?
- In a Ship pledge the founder has a launch deadline. If it passes without a confirmed launch, your pledge is released and nothing is charged.
- What does it cost a founder?
- Nothing upfront. fundmysaas takes a percentage of the money collected by a successful campaign, and nothing if the campaign fails.
