We've had a wide range of projects fund with us, with goals less than $2,000 to over $200,000, and thousands of projects in between.
We've had one of the highest success rates of any crowdfunding platform, approximately 80%.
Additionally, we at Seed&Spark charge zero fees to use our platform. The only fees to you are the payment processing fee that goes directly to Stripe, our third party payment processor.
You should set your goal based on what you need to truly move your project forward. Spending time researching all of your potential expenses, and budgeting accordingly, will help ensure your goal is appropriate for your project.
Remember to include payment processing fees, and be sure to plan for any taxes you may have to pay (we always recommend talking to a tax professional).
We've had projects that have raised with us go on to premiere at Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, and many other great festivals. We've also had student thesis projects that had more modest needs. But at the end of the day, your goal depends on you, your team, and your project's needs.
