Back in 2013, a few friends and I were running a digital marketing agency out of a garage when our friend Kevin asked us to help crowdfund his product, the EcoQube. We knew next to nothing about Kickstarter, but we put our heads together and said yes. Nothing prepared us for what happened next: the campaign raised **$79,026**. Kevin's life changed overnight, and we were hooked. Kevin also owned Airbnbs, and he wondered: could this work for lodging? So we tested it, **30 times over** now, proving crowdfunding doesn't just work for hospitality. It helps it thrive. Today, we've helped developers generate **$14M+ in pre-bookings**, giving them room to do what they do best: create intentional spaces for people to come together. This is our dream job, and we want to help you create yours. Whether you're launching an eco retreat, a stargazing villa, or another unique stay, we're here to help. ## Will the Guest-Funded Strategy Work For Me? Great fit You have or are working on getting the **land and necessary permits** **Pre-construction** or early build stage Boutique, glamping, eco, or **unique stay** Looking to **prove demand** to lenders or investors Have (or can get) **photorealistic renders** Not a fit (yet) Already open and fully operational No property renders available Large branded chain hotel Looking for ongoing marketing only ![](https://hub.launchboom.com/hubfs/lodging-lp/lodgin-lp-new/hero-bg.jpg) Your Dream Build Starts Here ## Ready to build your guest list before you break ground?
