Getting started
Launching with Indiegogo makes it seamless to transition into InDemand to continue building momentum after your campaign ends. However, if you met your goal on another crowdfunding platform, you can still transition into InDemand by simply creating a draft of your InDemand page leveraging the content for your original campaign. Do not try to launch your page just yet. If you launch before speaking with our team, your page will not be reflected as an InDemand page and you will have to recreate it.
Submit your campaign draft
Send the link of your campaign draft to indemand@indiegogo.com, as well as a link to your previous campaign, for approval and confirmation of previous funds.
Enter InDemand
Flow directly into InDemand as soon as your original campaign ends to capitalize on the momentum you built. Set up a redirect from your original campaign page and inform your community about your move to InDemand! Check out tips for success on InDemand.
