Highlights


  • $2M in funds processed with 15% revenue
  • 22k registered users, 25k transactions & 25% repeat customer purchase
  • 130+ campaigns run with 88% campaign success rate
  • High profile clients, such as Conan The Barbarian, The Rocketeer, and more
  • First of its kind e-commerce marketplace attached to crowdfunding

Opportunity


Redefining crowdfunding for the creator economy; creators and publishers

Zoop is uniquely positioned as THE full service crowdfunding platform. Zoop provides creators and companies built-in, streamlined support from start to finish, including campaign management, marketing, production/manufacturing, fulfillment and more.

Crowdfunding is a fast growing industry in the creator economy that provides:

- Democratization of the production of products

- Removal of gatekeepers

- Favorable profit models for creators 

Zoop lowers the barrier to entry and boosts the rates of success, while also increasing lifetime revenue through evergreen e-commerce sales. This model is being rapidly adopted across industries.

Problem

There are no guarantees of success for crowdfunding and it can feel overwhelming having to handle the many aspects of a crowdfunding campaign without a team. 

Traditional e-commerce execution is equally stressful, especially on top of a tight schedule developing a product, having to handle fulfillment, promotion, a website, and more.

Market

We are targeting the overall Collectors & Collectibles markets.

Product


Zoop is an all-in-one crowdfunding and e-commerce platform

Zoop's timing is ideal

Competitive Analysis

Zoop's all-in-one offering positions it as a formidable competitor, providing increased value in the market.

Customers

Fans, Collectors, Readers, Gamers and more

With a lean $1.34 Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), an $80 average customer purchase, and an organic network effect, Zoop is well-positioned in a recession-proof sector, where historical trends indicate enduring customer demand.

Clients

Creators & Publishers

Forging connections with prominent companies and creators, a referral network of influential professionals, and a trend of successful creators inspiring others — Zoop is primed for sustained growth.

Traction


130+ campaigns run with 88% campaign success rate (more than double the industry standard)

Testimonials

Business model


Revenue Streams

Our current revenue streams include platform fees and fees for providing services.

Future revenue streams include:

  • Original content and IP for film & TV
  • White Label Solutions / Service Partnerships
  • Convention / trade show sales
  • In-house fulfillment and distribution

Vision and strategy


Greater growth in the coming years

2024 will be the first full year all 3 founders are full time on Zoop. By incorporating the main "future revenue streams" listed above, we are projecting the following growth over the next 3 years.
