How it works

  1. 1

    Back a run

    Pledge tokens to a builder you want to see win. Miss the goal, and everyone gets their tokens back.

  2. 2

    Watch it burn

    Every call is metered. Tokens release in four milestones, never all at once, and you see them spent in public while they build.

  3. 3

    Use what you backed

    When it ships, your pledge comes back as usage on the product. Same tokens, spent twice.

For builders

  1. One key. Every model.

    Point your app at one endpoint. Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral, open weights. Change the model, not your code.

  2. Metered per call.

    Every request logged: the model, the tokens, and which pledge it drew from. Your backers see the burn. So do you.

  3. Keep the key after the run.

    When the pledged tokens are spent, add a card. Same key, same endpoint, same dashboard. Nothing to migrate.

Questions

Backers

What do I get for backing a run?

Your pledge comes back to you as usage on the product when it ships. Same tokens, spent twice — once to build it, once by you. No equity, no revenue share, no coin.

What if the run misses its goal?

Nothing is spent. Every pledge returns to your Crowdrun wallet as credit, ready for another run. Credit, not cash — that’s what keeps this a pre-order and not a bank.

Can a builder take the tokens and disappear?

No. Tokens are never handed over. They’re drawn down one call at a time through our gateway and released in four milestones against visible progress. Whatever a dead run hasn’t spent goes back to its backers automatically.

Is this equity? Is it crypto?

Neither. No shares, no token that trades, no upside promised to anyone. Backers pre-buy usage of something they want to exist. That’s the whole instrument.

When does it open?

The first runs are hand-picked and open by invitation. Join the list — builders hear first, backers get shown the first runs the day they go live.

Builders

What do I need to launch a run?

Something that works and a token goal. The first runs are hand-picked — apply, show us the prototype, and we’ll come to you.

What does it cost me?

Nothing to launch, and no equity — ever. Token pricing for after the run is published before the first runs open, so you see it before you commit.

Which models can I use?

Frontier models from the labs, and open weights — Qwen, DeepSeek, Llama, Mistral. Pick your mix and change it any time. Every call is metered the same way.

What do I owe my backers?

Their pledge back as usage on your product once it ships. Same tokens, spent twice. Nothing else — no updates schedule, no merch, no equity.

What if I miss a milestone?

Tokens release in four tranches against milestones you set. Miss one and the next tranche waits until you hit it. Nothing already spent is clawed back.
