I don't envy the job they have ahead of them
Fundraising platforms have a lot of moving parts, attract crappy users (scammers & virtue signalers), suffer from a killer chicken-and-egg problem, and are difficult to make sustainable (often need to be donation based themselves)
But they've made an excellent start, and their platform is very impressive on a technical level
I must admit you hit the spot on this feedback, especially the chicken-and-egg problem.
My strategy is split in 3 parts
- Bubble up approach, present Angor to local bitcoin meetups/events and try to attract small projects to it.
- Sponsor Hackathons and Grants instead of marketing.
- Try to focus on emerging markets where regulation is lacking.
I think your idea of targeting hackathons is great, especially high quality bitcoin focused ones like BH2025
There's a ton of potential with those milestone and investment approval features too… if a project is set up with thoughtful milestones and an exclusive community it could be a much more attractive investment than the likes of Geyser, Patreon or Kickstarter
Are you interested in the Latin American market, particularly Brazil? I could help you implement a localization management system if you don't already have one, and potentially find native speakers to review translations
