Crowdfunding since 2010
finished

Hinweis: Die Corona Hilfsaktion³ endete zum 28.02.2022. Unterstützungen, die danach bei kuratierten Projekten eingehen, werden nicht gematcht.

Kreative und Gründer:innen sind weiterhin betroffen, weil sie aufgrund der aktuellen Pandemiewelle Konzerte absagen, Einrichtungen schließen oder aus anderen Gründen Umsatzeinbußen hinnehmen müssen. Nicht für alle gibt es ein passendes staatliches Hilfspaket. In einigen Fällen können die Crowd und Startnext helfen.

In dieser Kampagne wollen wir allen, die betroffen sind, helfen und senken die Hürden für die Projekte, die zu der Hilfsaktion zugelassen werden.

Das bedeutet für dich:

  • Du kannst dein Projekt ohne Dankeschöns und Projektvideo starten.
  • Du kannst die Dankeschöns, das Video oder Texte während der Laufzeit noch hinzufügen oder verbessern.
  • Wir geben dir 4% Cofunding auf alle Unterstützungen, sobald du zu der Hilfsaktion zugelassen wurdest.
  • Wir geben dir eine Plattform für Verbundenheit in harten Zeiten

FAQ

Who is eligible?

You can participate in the Startnext Corona Relief Effort if you, your project or your company have to overcome financial shortages due to the corona virus and its consequences in social life (quarantine, closure, performance bans) and you want to address the crowd for this purpose.

You live in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Belgium and South Tyrol.

How do I apply?

You have two options after you click on the "Apply Now" button at the top of this page:

  • You apply with an already existing Startnext project
  • You apply using the application form and at the same time you create a new Startnext project, which you can later work on and bring into the funding phase.

After having received your application, we will send you the information about the admission or rejection for the Startnext Corona Relief Effort by e-mail as soon as possible.

Can I apply for other partner campaigns on Startnext?

Yes, you can apply to all partner campaigns, provided your project meets the respective eligibility requirements.

You can view other campaigns here: https://www.startnext.com/Pages.html?newLanguage=en

How exactly does Startnext help?
  • We have lowered the hurdles for Startnext projects in the Relief Effort. You can start into the funding phase without rewards and a pitch video.
  • You can still change your pictures and descriptions during the funding phase.
  • Once your project has been accepted for funding, we will give you 4% Cofunding for each subsequent contribution by the crowd.
How long does it take to get the money?

There are 4 requirements for the collected money to be paid out.


  1. The start level has been reached.
  2. You have successfully legitimized yourself as a starter.
  3. Your Startnext project has successfully completed the funding phase.
  4. We have collected the contributions, including revocations, fees and cofundings.

If these requirements are met, it will take a maximum of 21 days after the end of your funding phase for the money to arrive in your account.

What if my project is already in the funding phase?

If your Startnext project fits the guidelines of our Corona Relief Effort, you are welcome to apply at any time.

It is important for you to know that the 4% Cofunding will only be added to your funding once you have been admitted to the campaign.

Can I start several campaigns?

Yes, with pleasure.

What is the crowd index?

Projekte unter dem Balken bekommen noch keine Förderung. Die Rangliste der Projekte ergibt sich aus dem Crowd-Index eines jeden Projekts.

Wie funktioniert der Crowd-Index? Mit dem Crowd-Index wird die Beteiligung der Crowd möglichst fair einbezogen. In den Crowd-Index eines jeden Projekts fließen drei Faktoren ein: Zahl der Unterstützer, der erzielten Betrag in € sowie der prozentuale Anteil dieses Betrags am Finanzierungsziel. Beispiel: Wer also 50% seiner Fundingsumme mit 200 Unterstützern erzielt, schneidet besser ab als jemand, der dafür nur 100 Unterstützer mobilisiert, auch wenn die erreichte Summe gleich ist.

What is a match funding campaign?

Cofunding

During a matchfunding campaign, selected Startnext projects are funded by directly matching each support from the crowd with a cofunding. For example, in a ratio of 1:1, which means that the support is doubled.

What is a boost campaign?

Boost

What is a contest ?

Contest

A contest is a cofunding campaign that aims to promote selected Startnext projects for a topic or a region within the framework of a competition. The projects with the most supporters are awarded with prize money or non-cash prizes on the final day of the contest.

What is an organizational profile?

Curation

Behind an organization profile is an institution or company that offers added value to curated Startnext projects. Added values include: Qualification, Outreach, Consulting or Microcredits.
