Startnext is the largest crowdfunding platform for creative people and inventors in the German speaking area. Starters finance their projects by launching a campaign, animating many people to support their projects through Startnext. Supporters will receive rewards, such as designer products, limited edition books, CDs or artwork, invitations to Premieres, and other rewards.

Funding on Startnext is all-or-nothing. As soon as the funding goal and deadline have been reached, the money will be distributed to the starter. If the project falls short, the supporters will get their money back and are free to invest in new projects.
