SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Indiegogo, the premier crowdfunding platform that unites innovators with early adopters, is excited to announce the launch of their Shipping Guarantee program. This groundbreaking initiative is set to enhance trust and reliability within the crowdfunding community by ensuring that backers of projects in this program receive their orders or receive a full refund if the project fails to ship within the timeframe specified.

Indiegogo changes the game in crowdfunding and now provides a Shipping Guarantee for some campaigns, starting with HoverAir's new X1 PRO

"Indiegogo is dedicated to driving innovation and ensuring the success of our campaigners, while protecting the interests of our backers," said Becky Center, CEO of Indiegogo. "The Shipping Guarantee program represents a significant milestone in our commitment to fostering trust within the crowdfunding community. By providing a guarantee that backers will receive their products or their money back, we are enhancing the overall crowdfunding experience and encouraging more people to support bringing these innovative products to life."

The Shipping Guarantee includes an exclusive badge available to select campaign owners who are able to guarantee shipping by a certain date. This program not only provides a layer of trust for backers but also benefits campaign owners by making their projects even more appealing to early adopters.

Zero Zero Robotics will be the inaugural partner for the new Shipping Guarantee program. Known for their HoverAir X1, a pocket-sized self-flying camera that raised nearly $2 million on Indiegogo, Zero Zero Robotics is now back with a PRO series of this popular product.

"We're excited to return to Indiegogo and honored to be part of the Shipping Guarantee program," said MQ Wang, Founder and CEO of ZeroZero Robotics. "The incredible support from our backers in 2023 has fueled our innovations for HOVERAir X1 PRO & PROMAX this year. We're confident in our ability to ship on time, ensuring backers can support us with peace of mind."

This new program is a testament to Indiegogo's ongoing efforts to expand the crowdfunding ecosystem, bring in new backers and equip campaigners with the tools they need to succeed. Other recent enhancements include the launch of IndieShop, a new e-commerce platform for previously crowdfunded products, as well as features like Pre-launch Reservations, Pay Over Time and in-store retail, set to open in Q4 2024.
