Why Crowdify?

We were able to successfully finance part of our new music festival with Crowdify! Right from the start, we felt wonderfully accompanied and supported by the team. We received feedback that enabled us to make our campaign clearer and more appealing. Our project was also presented on Ron Orp and one of our goodies was praised as goodie of the week. In addition to organising funds, the campaign was a great tool to increase our reach, if nobody knows and sees the project, even the best goodies are useless. It should also be said that crowdfunding doesn't run by itself, of course; you have to push it regularly, otherwise the interest of supporters will fade. All in all, we can give a clear recommendation - Crowdify offers a fantastic basis for the realisation of all kinds of great projects!

“Grossmutter und ich” is a graphic novel about my exploration of my grandmother's war story. In 2020, I launched the first crowdfunding under the name “Mormor and I” when the project was still an enthusiastic idea. Five years later, after intensive research and two journeys in my grandmother's war footsteps, the story has matured. The script is finished and the realization in the form of a graphic novel begins. As the production is time-consuming, I have started a second crowdfunding campaign. I particularly appreciate Crowdify because I get good tips and quick support there. For me, crowdfunding is also a way to get in touch with interested people. That's how I met a woman who saw my portrait in the Ron Orp newsletter as the “goodie of the week”. She supported the project and traveled from Bern to Basel to have her portrait taken by me. It turned out to be a wonderful encounter with in-depth conversations and lots of laughter, and a great portrait was created.

Working with Crowdify was simply great. When creating the crowdfunding project, you notice how intuitive and user-friendly the interface is. Once you have created the project, there are lots of useful tools in the dashboard that you can use directly for marketing. The newsletters that you receive during the project also contain really practical tips. All these valuable tools and tips significantly increase the likelihood of success! In my opinion, however, the really brilliant support deserves special mention! Reliable, fast and solution-oriented. If complicated questions are asked that the team has not yet been confronted with, they work together to find a solution. And it's all super friendly :) I can honestly recommend Crowdify for your crowdfunding projects. Simply top!

Thanks to Crowdify, we were able to raise CHF 40,000 this year with the aim of campaigning even more strongly for a vegan lifestyle in Switzerland in the new year. Having worked with Crowdify several times before, it was clear to us that we wanted to use this platform again this year. We felt that our project was in good hands thanks to the appealing interface, the simple donation process and the great support from the Crowdify team with daily tips. THANK YOU!

Launching a crowdfunding campaign for the first time was not easy for me. That's why I did a lot of research beforehand. When I registered with Crowdify, I realized that I didn't have to do this. Crowdify provides a very clear manual with lots of tips, which helped me enormously. This enabled me to build up my crowdfunding step by step and ultimately complete it successfully.

Crowdify is great. In addition to the great support from the team, which always comes up with good tips both in the run-up and during the term, the platform interface is very easy and intuitive to use.

With the excellent support of Crowdify, we were not only able to successfully complete our project, but also make new people aware of the wonderful activities in our SAH Ateliers for Women. A big thank you from us for this!

Launching my project via Crowdify was the best decision. I have already been able to use the site to advertise my future work and address a topic that is still very taboo. It was successfully funded and I can start my own business. I have also received wonderful messages from those affected, which has really touched me! I received great support from Crowdify! Thank you very much!

Crowdify gave us a hand and provided professional, comprehensive support. This really helped us to successfully complete our crowdfunding. There are lots of things you need to think about, and Crowdify helped us not to forget about anything important :) Thank you so much!

The simple implementation of our crowdfunding project and its quick launch suited our tight schedule perfectly. The excellent advice given before and during the crowdfunding campaign and the useful tips given from time to time helped us to reach our goal.

After the “Umweltfreunde in Wangen” project, we had a second successful Crowdify campaign with “Fundpark”. Communication with the support team was quick, simple and very friendly. As part of our work with initiators looking for advice, we’ll also be found on this platform in the future in one way or another.

Without Crowdify, the wonderful “Auf der Spur von Tayaro” project wouldn’t have been possible. Support, IT... everyone at Crowdify believed in our project and helped us where they could. Thank you for saving our project!

I would recommend crowdfunding with Crowdify, for the great advice given before and during the campaign alone. But if I ever have another project for Crowdify, I’d rather do it as part of a team, not on my own. That way you can share the work better.

We’ve completed a number of crowdfunding campaigns on Crowdify. It’s been really simple every time and we have been able to reach a lot of people on Crowdify’s platform. Thank you for this great opportunity!

Submitting a project is really user-friendly and the set-up not only guides you through the requirements step by step, but also alerted us to several subtleties in terms of successful project funding. We also took advantage of the opportunity to promote the project on Ron Orp and that’s probably why we enjoyed such unexpected reach. In the end, we reached out funding target well before the project deadline. We are more than happy with Crowdify.

Crowdfunding has been a challenging, but also very exciting and rewarding experience. Although I took a lot of time to prepare, I somewhat underestimated the work involved. Thanks to the great assistance of Crowdify and, of course, the generosity of all the boosters, the project was finally successfully funded. I am very happy and grateful that I have succeeded and will soon be able to realise my dream of setting up my own brewery. The Crowdify staff were very helpful and always responded quickly and competently when I had questions.

Frequently asked questions

Initiators (musicians, artists, designers... you!) present their projects on the Crowdify crowdfunding platform, where they can be financed by a number of individual people, or Boosters, over a predefined period.

In return, the Initiator sends the Boosters, who may be friends, acquaintances, companies, or benefactors, exclusive goodies, such as a signed CD, a book with a dedication, or a mention in film credits. Boosters can watch the project become a reality, and can even play an active role.

Do you dream of producing a film, publishing a book, creating a fashion collection, recording an album, producing artwork, celebrating an event, or launching a product on the market? Whatever your project, crowdify.net is the platform for you! You can show off your project, advertise intelligently and win over fans who can make small or larger financial contributions to help make your project a reality. Crowdify is for everyone!

- The simple donation process! Boosters (donors) are free to make a donation whenever they like, without tedious login processes.

-Its Security. RaiseNow processes electronic payments on behalf of Crowdify. This means that data remains secure and that contributions are quickly and securely processed and stored.

- AI Crowdchecker: The AI Crowdchecker analyzes your project in just a few minutes and shows you how much support you can realistically expect—for a clear, well-founded campaign launch.

- AI project design: Your project draft created by AI in seconds—giving you a clear, structured foundation to get started right away.

Three things:
first, make your project look appealing on Crowdify. You can do this with videos, images and text, and great goodies. You need to get people excited about supporting your project.

Then, really promote your project! All throughout its duration – use all your creativity, passion and energy. This is when you will raise money. And really, don’t be shy!

Finally, use the money raised to make your project a reality.

The platform is free of charge for everyone. When Boosters (donors) sponsor a project, they only pay what they donate. Project Initiators don’t pay a thing. Once the project is successfully funded (and only then!), crowdify.net deducts an administration fee of 9% incl. VAT (including financial service provider fees, or 11% for funding in stages) of the total amount collected; the remaining amount is transferred to the Project Initiators.

For social projects we do not charge the platform fee. Upon successful completion of your project, only the external costs of the payment method (approx. 3%) will be charged.

Yes, of course! You can set your project goal as high as you like. The important thing to remember is that you have a specific number of days (chosen by you) to promote the project, sing its praises and make noise about it. The higher the amount is, the harder it can be to reach the target.

Also bear in mind that crowdify.net uses an “all or nothing” approach. If you don’t reach 100% of your funding goal, the money will be transferred back to your supporters.

On the other hand, you can also raise more money than your original goal. Therefore, we recommend setting a lower funding goal and explaining what you’d like to do with any excess funding you’re able to raise.

Yes! Are you convincing a lot of donors and have a target amount of more than CHF 200,000? Well, then we’re convinced too, and we’ll lower our flat platform fee for projects as follows:

For a successful target amount of...

... up to CHF 200,000: 9% platform fee / 11% for funding in stages
... up to CHF 300,000: 8% platform fee / 10% for funding in stages
... up to CHF 400,000: 7% platform fee / 9% for funding in stages
... up to CHF 500,000: 6% platform fee / 8% for funding in stages
... from CHF 500,000: 6% platform fee / 8% for funding in stages

So, you can aim high and reduce costs.

You want to create a project with a social background?

Crowdify supports social engagement without any fees. Only third-party costs from payment providers (approx. 3%) are charged. And because sometimes every extra franc helps, we give you the possibility to start a fundraising campaign without a target amount.

We love social commitments! We’d be happy to support you and offer preferential conditions: upon successful completion of your social project, we’ll only charge the payment providers’ third-party costs (about 3%). This maximises the funding that flows directly into your social project.

We know that sometimes every extra penny really helps. That’s why, for social projects, Crowdify gives you the option of not setting a target amount. Remember: while this takes off the pressure of a specific funding goal, it also eliminates boosters’ sense of urgency to donate right away.

Welcome back! We’re delighted to see you back at Crowdify, and we’d love you to start your next project with us. To say thanks, we’ll reduce the flat platform fees by 1% if you start another project within 16 months of your last crowdfunding.

Crowdify gives you everything you need: personal support, expert tips, tricks and tools, statistics during the project period, and the full promotional power of Ron Orp.

Don’t be sad. All of the money pitched in by your Boosters (contributors) will be paid back to them, and you won’t have to pay any platform fees. Your project will remain visible on Crowdify for another 10 days.

You decide how long your crowdfunding project should last. It can be anywhere from 1 to 50 days. These days, periods of 15, 30 or (for large funding targets) 50 days are standard. Remember that you’ll need to actively promote your project every day throughout the entire period. If you want to choose a project period that isn’t available for selection when you’re setting up the project, just write to us at and we’ll be happy to help.

All questions & answers

Who is behind Crowdify?

Crowdify (formerly 100-days.net) is the crowdfunding platform from Ron Orp, the most urban media in Switzerland. How we came to be:

2004: First Ron Orp newsletter

Two entrepreneurs, Romano Strebel and Christian Klinner, have a vision: they want to network the people of Zurich and inspire their city life. The first Ron Orp newsletter is sent to about 100 people.

2007: Ron Orp expands

With over 30,000 subscribers, Ron Orp has become an indispensable part of Zurich city life. A website with a marketplace and forum is created to allow Ron Orp readers to share information with each other. Ron Orp expands into five more cities.

2012: Crowdfunding for everyone

A networked community of city dwellers has grown up around Ron Orp in the meantime. A community with many great ideas and projects in and around the city. But there is often a lack of money to implement the ideas. Ron Orp launches 100-days.net, one of the first crowdfunding platforms in Switzerland.

2018: 100-Days becomes Crowdify

After 6 years of crowdfunding and over 2,000 crowdfunding projects it's time for a new start! New name, new design, new features. Always backed by the power of Ron Orp (now in 9 Swiss cities with over 300,000 users).

The old adage applies to crowdfunding: no one is born a master. That's why we offer free crowdfunding workshops on a monthly basis. Giving you the edge!
