Based & Bankrupt

Based & Bankrupt is a unique crowdfunding platform designed specifically for indie hackers and scrappy builders who need micro-funding for essential project components.

The platform connects backers directly with makers, enabling transparent and straightforward support for small but critical project expenses. By emphasizing 'fund the grind, not the glamour,' Based & Bankrupt empowers creators to ship their ideas even when resources are tight, fostering a community of resourceful entrepreneurs who prioritize action over polish. The platform encourages listing actual needs and offers a waitlist for early access, making it an accessible and pragmatic solution for startup funding in the indie hacker ecosystem.
