Why FundMyServer Exists

We're filling a critical gap in the funding landscape for indie developers and creators.

THE PROBLEM

The Infrastructure Death Spiral

Promising indie projects face an overlooked killer: small but persistent operational costs. After free tiers expire, $10-$100/month server bills can force potentially valuable projects offline.

Free tier credits expire
AWS/GCP/Azure credits run out
Monthly bills begin
$10-$100/month operational costs
Project shutdown
Innovation lost, potential untapped
OUR SOLUTION

The Operation Cost Bridge

FundMyServer provides targeted funding for verified infrastructure costs through time-limited micro-sponsorships, creating a clear path for projects to reach self-sustainability.

Verified cost transparency
Clear, itemized infrastructure needs
Time-bound sponsorship
3-6 month funding commitments
Path to sustainability
Projects grow and thrive

How We're Different

vs. Crowdfunding

Kickstarter, Indiegogo

One-time funding for project creation, not ongoing operation.

Doesn't address recurring infrastructure costs

vs. Patronage

Patreon, Ko-fi

Supports creators themselves, not specific operational costs.

Lacks transparency on funding allocation

vs. VC Funding

Angel, Seed, VC

High-growth startups only, requires equity and large investment.

Minimum investments too large ($25k+)

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our approach to infrastructure funding.

Is FundMyServer like Kickstarter or GoFundMe?

No. While those platforms are great for broader project funding, FundMyServer focuses specifically on covering recurring, verified operational infrastructure costs (like hosting/APIs) for a fixed term. We ensure transparency about where funds go – directly to keeping the tech running.

Is this venture capital? Do I give up equity?

Absolutely not. FundMyServer facilitates non-equity sponsorships. We are not investors seeking financial returns or company equity, nor are we an accelerator program like Y Combinator. Our sole goal is to help cover essential infrastructure bills.

How is this different from Patreon?

Patreon is designed for ongoing, general creator support through memberships, often funding the creator's time or broader work. FundMyServer provides targeted funding for specific, verified operational costs over a defined period (e.g., 6 months) to help projects launch or become sustainable, not indefinite creator patronage.

What happens after the sponsorship period ends?

After the initial sponsorship period (typically 3-6 months), there are several paths forward:

  1. Sponsors may choose to renew their support for another period
  2. Projects that have gained traction may have developed their own revenue streams
  3. Projects may find new sponsors through our platform
  4. We provide guidance on optimizing infrastructure costs

Our goal is to provide a bridge to sustainability, not create permanent dependence.

How do you verify costs are legitimate?

Our verification process includes several steps:

  • Confirming the project's existence and basic functionality
  • Reviewing the infrastructure setup against industry benchmarks
  • Ensuring costs align with market rates for the services claimed
  • Verifying that requested resources are appropriate for the project's stage and needs

This process creates trust for sponsors while helping creators optimize their infrastructure choices.
