You’ve got an idea. Maybe it’s a day in the studio with your most dedicated fans. Or a beach getaway with songs, stories, and a campfire under the stars. Or something else you’ve dreamed up.
The question isn’t whether your fans would love it. The question is will there be enough demand to make it happen? Will you be able to pull this unique event off, without losing money?
That’s where Funl comes in.
Funl is a crowdfunding platform that helps creators fund amazing moments by inviting their community to back events before they exist and rewards them for their idea.
No Risk … For Creators & Fans
You set a hidden reserve – the minimum amount needed to make the event a go. If the hidden reserve is met, the event is on and fans are charged! If it’s not met, no one is charged.
Behind the scenes, you’ll see every fan’s bid in real time – giving you a clear view of demand … and can give you the go-ahead for your event.
Real artists. Real events. Real revenue.

Honky Tonkin’ on Broadway with 12 Fans
Karen Waldrup had a Nashville showcase coming up – and like most showcases, it didn’t pay. She was looking at costs to bring her and her band to Nashville. She created a Funl for the day before her showcase: a private acoustic show with her and her guitar, dinner, and honky-tonkin’ on Broadway (bouncing from bar to bar checking out all the live bands). Twelve fans brought in $7,200 of revenue – more than covering her showcase costs. View story…
