Zero upfront

Launching a campaign costs nothing to start.

How Pledzy works

Three steps, no jargon. Pick a business, pick a reward, follow along as it gets built.

01

Find a business

Browse your city hub and see exactly what each business is raising money for.

02

Pick a reward

Coffee for a year, a name on the wall, a seat at opening night — every campaign has perks.

03

Watch it happen

The owner keeps you posted with updates until your reward arrives.

Real businesses. Real rewards.

Every campaign is run by a verified local business. Backers support a neighbor and get a reward in return — no shares, no contracts, no fine print.

  • Business registration and owner identity verified
  • The business keeps what it raises, so your support always helps
  • Every campaign says exactly what the money is for
  • Owners post updates until every reward is delivered
