The Agency 2.0 alternative for creators below the seven-figure cutoff
Agency 2.0 built its reputation on managing massive Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns. Below their typical threshold, most creators can't get in the door. We run a similar pre-launch and paid-media architecture for sub-$500k projects on a fixed monthly fee. 46 campaigns, $1.2M+ raised.
What pushes creators to look past Agency 2.0 in 2026.
Agency 2.0 is one of the most established names in crowdfunding services. The portfolio is real and the team is experienced — but the commercial model is built around large campaigns: high minimum fees, performance-based pricing tied to total raise, and a roster of past clients that skews to seven- and eight-figure projects.

Frequently asked questions
Is Agency 2.0 bad?
No. They're one of the most established crowdfunding agencies and their portfolio is real. They're built for a specific tier of campaign — typically large hardware, high-AOV consumer products, and creators with existing audiences. If you fit that profile and the commercial terms work, they're…
What's the largest campaign you've worked on?
Our top single-campaign result is $332,694 (Woolet on Kickstarter). Across 46 campaigns we've raised $1.2M+. We're transparent that we're not a fit for $5M hardware launches — for those, Agency 2.0 or LaunchBoom at their top tier is the right call.
Do you take a percentage of what we raise?
No. Fixed $1,500/month, period. Ad budget is separate and goes directly to your Meta/Reddit account on your card.
