Geyser

What Geyser does

Geyser Inc. is a private Bitcoin-focused crowdfunding platform operating globally in 120+ countries. The company enables creators, NGOs, and micro-entrepreneurs to raise capital for Bitcoin adoption projects via multiple funding models: open fundraisers, all-or-nothing campaigns, recoverable grants that recirculate capital, and impact funds curated by regional Field Partners. Core technology is built on Bitcoin's Lightning Network and on-chain rails, with non-custodial Project Wallets embedded in every campaign and fiat contribution support (card and Apple Pay) to onboard non-crypto contributors. A network of 100+ Field Partners provides local trust verification across Latin America, Africa, Europe, and beyond.

Geyser monetizes primarily through optional paid creator support tiers — Basic ($25), Launch Boost ($60), Growth ($300, adopted by ~40% of Top 100 projects), and Partnership ($2,500+) — alongside implicit transaction and marketplace commissions on product sales. Go-to-market is community-led and product-led: a 5-minute self-serve project launch, an Ambassador Program paying sats for referrals, weekly newsletter distribution to 5,000+ subscribers, and curated Impact Funds (notably LABIF in Latin America) that deploy institutional-style capital into vetted projects. The company reports 50,000+ Bitcoiners in its ecosystem and serves a long-tail of humanitarian, education, circular-economy, and cultural causes.

The company is incorporated in the USA (Sheridan-listed mailing address) with a team of 1-10 and a single disclosed $550,000 seed round in January 2023 led by Hivemind Ventures with Lightning Ventures. Strategic positioning is as the rails layer for Bitcoin-denominated crowdfunding, with field-vetted trust as the core moat rather than technology novelty.

1. Platform Launch Fees: Creators pay tiered fees to access launch support levels: Basic ($25) for self-serve listing, Launch Boost ($60) for front-page feature and newsletter placement, Growth ($300) for comprehensive strategy, content creation, and social amplification, and Partnership (starting at $2,500) for hands-on execution and full ecosystem amplification.
2. Transaction Processing: Platform facilitates Bitcoin and Lightning transactions between contributors and projects. While not explicitly stated as a fee, the platform benefits from transaction volume across its ecosystem.
3. Product Sales: Some projects sell products (merch, memberships, collectibles) through the platform, with Geyser potentially taking a commission on sales.

Direct peers

• Patreon: Creator monetization and recurring fan-membership platform. Comparable to Geyser's creator tools and recurring support model, though focused on ongoing patronage rather than project-based campaigns.
• Kickstarter: Largest general-purpose project-based crowdfunding platform. Directly comparable as a destination for creators to fundraise around projects, though Kickstarter does not natively support Bitcoin or recoverable grant models.
• GoFundMe: Dominant donation and personal-cause crowdfunding platform. Competes with Geyser for humanitarian and community fundraising dollars, though without Bitcoin-native rails or impact fund distribution.
• Indiegogo: Project-based crowdfunding platform competing in the same creator-fundraising category as Geyser, particularly for product and cause campaigns.

Emerging players

• The Giving Block: Crypto-native fundraising infrastructure for nonprofits accepting Bitcoin and other digital assets. Direct adjacency to Geyser's humanitarian and education mission, though focused on institutional nonprofits rather than grassroots creators.
• Engiven: Crypto donation platform serving churches, ministries, and nonprofits. Comparable as a Bitcoin-native fundraising tool, though targeting institutional faith-based and nonprofit customers rather than grassroots Bitcoin adoption projects.
• Tallycoin: Bitcoin Lightning-based fundraising platform. Closest direct competitor on Bitcoin-native rails, though with a smaller feature set and no Field Partner network or recoverable grants model.
• Stacker News: Bitcoin-native content and crowdfunding platform using Lightning micropayments. Comparable as a Bitcoin-first community funding venue, though focused on content posts rather than full project campaigns.
• Gitcoin: Crypto-native quadratic funding platform for open-source and public goods. Comparable in mission (funding ecosystem-impacting projects) and use of grants, though primarily Ethereum-based and structured as a DAO.

Regional players

• BitGive Foundation: Early Bitcoin charity and donation nonprofit. Comparable mission (Bitcoin-powered humanitarian giving) though operates as a traditional nonprofit rather than a multi-project crowdfunding marketplace.
