— The problem

Most campaigns die before
they even launch.

You spend six months building. Pay $5K for renders. Hire a video crew. Then launch — and stall at 30%. The thing that killed it was visible from day one.

61%

of crowdfunds miss their goal

Across Kickstarter's lifetime. Most fail for fixable reasons: wrong goal, weak hook, bad pricing, poor video pacing.

$11K

average loss per failed launch

Prototypes, video, ads, agency fees. Gone if you don't fund. Pledgescore costs 0.3% of that.

6mo

wasted on preventable mistakes

Most creators learn what went wrong only after the campaign ends. By then it's too late.

Frequently Asked Questions.

How accurate is the score?
Our model achieves 76% accuracy for campaigns scored before launch, validated against 1,000+ launches. Better than most consultants and significantly better than gut instinct.
Does my idea need to be finished?
No. Even a 200-word concept gives useful signal. More inputs = sharper score. Most users iterate: score, fix, re-score.
Will you steal my idea?
No. We don't store drafts longer than needed to generate the report. Your data isn't used to train models. NDAs available for Studio clients.
What if my score is low?
Good. That's exactly when the report saves you most. About 70% of users scoring below 60 re-score above 75 after one round of fixes.

Don't launch blind.

Step 1/8
— QUESTION 01 OF 08

What kind of crowdfunding campaign are you planning?

This helps us compare your campaign against the right type of launch.

— QUESTION 02 OF 08

How realistic is your funding goal?

A strong campaign goal is based on real costs, platform fees, fulfillment needs, and reachable supporters.

— QUESTION 03 OF 08

How clearly can a stranger understand what their support will make possible?

This tests whether your campaign can be understood quickly by someone who does not already know you.

— QUESTION 04 OF 08

How well do you understand your likely supporters?

The best campaigns do not target "everyone." They know exactly who is most likely to care.

— QUESTION 05 OF 08

How many warm supporters can you directly reach?

Count people you can realistically message, not passive followers. Include email, text, DMs, communities, partners, customers, and personal contacts.

— QUESTION 06 OF 08

What level of early support have you secured?

Early commitments are one of the strongest signs of first-week funding potential.

— QUESTION 07 OF 08

How strong are your campaign story, proof, and trust signals?

Supporters need to feel both emotionally connected and confident that the campaign is real.

— QUESTION 08 OF 08

How prepared is your launch and promotion plan?

A campaign needs a plan before, during, and after launch — not just a page that goes live.
