Global crowdfunding platform Indiegogo is expanding and launching new capabilities in the UK, Germany, France and Canada.
International features include:
– currencies: transactions are now available in Euros, Pounds Sterling and Canadian Dollars in addition to the US Dollar.
– Languages: French and German will be available in December 2012.
– Localization: Indiegogo will be offering localized versions of the homepage and search and discovery experiences for British, French, German and Canadian users in early 2013, to highlight local campaigns.
Launched in January 2008 by Danae Ringelmann, Indiegogo allows anyone to launch a crowdfunding campaign for any idea – creative, cause-related or entrepreneurial. In August 2012, the company, which also has offices in Los Angeles and New York, has partnered with Google and Stiftung Entrepreneurship to foster entrepreneurship through the Gründer-Garage initiative – an online competition for German-speaking entrepreneurs to promote innovation and financing through the Internet.
