Democratizing Fundraising in Africa and Beyond
Pledgr started with a simple idea: if you have something worth funding, your location, your bank, or who you know shouldn't stand in the way.
Our Mission
Make it possible for anyone, anywhere to fund what matters. We connect creators with backers so good ideas actually get off the ground.
Our Vision
A world where good ideas don't die because the creator couldn't find funding. From Nairobi to New York, everyone deserves a shot.
Our Values
Transparency, inclusion, and doing things differently. Open finances, global access, and always questioning how crowdfunding should work.
Built in Nairobi, Made for the World
Pledgr started in Nairobi. I kept watching creators, artists, and entrepreneurs try to raise funds on platforms that weren't built for them. Payment methods were limited, fees were steep, and payout timelines made no sense for anyone outside the US.
So I built Pledgr. M-Pesa at its core, crypto for global backers, and fees that don't eat into what creators actually raise.
Today, Pledgr serves creators in over 40 countries. We offer flexible and fixed-goal funding models, real-time dashboards, and instant payouts. But our mission stays the same: make funding accessible, transparent, and borderless.
