Crowdfunding campaigns

AI crowdfunding campaign planning that does the legwork.

GATE's AI crowdfunding campaign planning does the work around a launch. Your agent studies comparable campaigns, writes the story, the reward tiers and the backer updates, and builds a pre-launch page on your own domain where every signup confirms by email before it joins your list in GATE's CRM. The launch letter waits, scheduled for the minute you open. GATE never connects to Kickstarter or any other platform, never touches pledges, and nobody can promise a campaign funds.

We launch on Kickstarter in six weeks. Help me plan it.
I looked at 12 comparable campaigns in your category. Most of the funded ones had an early-bird tier and a list waiting on day one.
Your pre-launch page is live on your domain. 214 people have confirmed their signup so far.
The launch letter to all 214 is written. Send it at 15:00 Stockholm time, when the campaign opens?

Scheduled for 15:00. The launch posts go out on Instagram at the same time.
How it works

How does GATE plan a crowdfunding campaign?

No blank page and no launch-week scramble. Your agent plans and prepares each part, you decide what goes out, and you run the campaign on the platform.

01

Study what worked

Your agent searches the web for comparable campaigns in your category and reads how they set the goal, priced the rewards and told the story, so your plan starts from real campaigns, with the links.

02

Draft the page and the rewards

It writes the campaign story, the reward tiers from early bird to top pledge, and the FAQ, in your voice, for you to edit and put on Kickstarter, Indiegogo or wherever you launch.

03

Build the list before day one

A pre-launch page goes live on your own domain. Every signup gets one email with a confirmation button, and only the people who press it within 7 days join your list in GATE's CRM.

04

Keep them warm

Your agent writes the letters to that list: a test to your own inbox first, two subject lines tried on a slice of the list if you like, then sent or scheduled, with a one-click unsubscribe in every one.

05

Line up launch day

Posts made and scheduled on Instagram, LinkedIn and a Facebook Page, creators approached, ads built and left paused until you confirm the budget, and the letter saying you're live scheduled for the minute you open.

06

Keep backers updated

Through the campaign it drafts the backer updates on progress, stretch goals and thanks, for you to post on the platform.

Who decides what goes out during a crowdfunding launch?

You do. Your agent plans and prepares everything around the campaign, and these rules hold whatever it is asked to do.

Rules that hold for every launch

Built into GATE's tools, not left to your agent.

A signup joins your list only after confirming by email
A form can only use the lists you allowed it
Every letter has a one-click unsubscribe, honoured across GATE
New ads start paused, and budgets wait for your confirmed amount
Pledges and payments never go through GATE

Which GATE tools does a crowdfunding launch run on?

Each part runs on a real GATE tool, so the story, the list and the posts come from one place.

Research

Comparable campaigns

Goals, reward tiers and stories from campaigns like yours, found on the web, with the links.

Page

A pre-launch page on your domain

Built and hosted by GATE on your own domain with HTTPS, with the signup form wired to your CRM.

List

Confirmed signups in your CRM

Every confirmed signup becomes a contact on your pre-launch list. Ask any time how many have confirmed, how many are still waiting and who opted out.

Letters

Newsletters to the list

From your own Gmail, up to 500 a day by default, or from your own verified domain, up to 20,000 a day. The plan says how long a send takes before anything goes out.

Social

Posts and creators

Countdown and launch posts scheduled on your channels, and creators in your niche graded out of ten and approached slowly.

Ads

A paid push, on your yes

Google and Meta ads written and built paused, with budgets changed only after you confirm the amount.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What is AI crowdfunding campaign planning?

AI crowdfunding campaign planning means an AI agent does the work around a crowdfunding launch: studying comparable campaigns, writing the page and the reward tiers, building the pre-launch list and lining up launch day. In GATE, a company's own agent does that work with GATE's tools for email, social posts, ads and web pages, while the company runs the campaign itself on Kickstarter, Indiegogo or another platform.

Does GATE run my campaign on Kickstarter or Indiegogo?

No. GATE does not connect to Kickstarter, Indiegogo or any other crowdfunding platform, and pledges and payments never go through GATE. GATE's agent writes the campaign story, the reward tiers and the backer updates for the company to post on the platform, and does the work around it: the pre-launch page, the confirmed list, the letters, the social posts and the ads.

How does GATE build a pre-launch list for a crowdfunding campaign?

GATE's agent builds a signup page on the company's own domain, and an owner of the company's GATE account switches its form on once. Every signup gets one email with a confirmation button, and only people who press it within 7 days join the list in GATE's CRM. GATE never buys or scrapes lists, and a form can only use the lists it was allowed.

Can a pre-launch page built with GATE handle a rush of signups?

Up to a limit the company sets. GATE accepts 10 signups per 15 minutes from one visitor and, by default, 200 new signups an hour for the whole company, a cap that can be raised to 10,000 before launch day. Above the cap the form answers that there are too many requests and the company is told once that hour, so a big announcement is worth planning around.

How do GATE's launch emails to the list work?

GATE's agent writes each letter and sends it with GATE's newsletter tool, from the company's own Gmail or its own verified domain. A test goes to the company's inbox first, two subject lines can be tried on a slice of the list, and the send can be scheduled for the minute the campaign opens. Every letter carries a one-click unsubscribe, also in the headers Gmail and Outlook use for their own button.

Can GATE help set a crowdfunding goal and reward tiers?

Yes, as a proposal. GATE's agent works out a funding goal and reward tiers from what comparable campaigns raised and charged and, if GATE keeps the company's books, from its real costs. The agent lays out the reasoning with its sources, and the founder decides the goal and the prices that go on the campaign page.

Does GATE run ads and social posts for a crowdfunding launch?

GATE's agent writes and builds Google and Meta ads for the pre-launch and the launch, and new ads start paused until a person confirms the budget amount. It also makes and schedules countdown and launch posts on Instagram, LinkedIn and a Facebook Page, and can grade creators in the niche out of ten and approach the best fits slowly.

What can GATE not do for a crowdfunding campaign?

GATE does not connect to Kickstarter, Indiegogo or any other platform, takes no pledges or payments and does not post on the campaign page. GATE does not buy or scrape email lists, so only people who confirmed their own signup get the letters. No tool can promise that a crowdfunding campaign funds, and GATE does not either: GATE prepares the launch, and the founder runs it.

How do I start planning a crowdfunding launch with GATE?

GATE is invite only while GATE Intelligence onboards a small number of businesses at a time. After the invite, the founder briefs the agent in plain language: what the product is, who it is for, the launch date and the budget. The agent starts with research on comparable campaigns, and an owner of the GATE account switches the pre-launch signup form on once the page is ready.
