Offbeatr is a US website for crowdfunding pornography.[1] It has been described as “Kickstarter for porn”.[2] Project creators post pitches for new projects. Projects may be media, events or objects. The user community gets to vote on projects. If a project gets enough votes, it’s open for funding. If a project meets its goal, then the project creator gets the funds. Users must be 18 years of age or older. Project creators can also sell previously created material. Projects must be based in either United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, France, Australia, or New Zealand.[3]
The commonly available platforms by Amazon payment and PayPal do not allow payment for pornography. Offbeatr was launched in August 2012 by the Los Angeles based start-up Extra Lunch Money. As of August 2012 it had a team of five and was self-funded.[4][5]
As of February 14, 2013, over $70,000 in pledges had been funded in seven projects, mostly relating to furry fandom.[6]
The site actually went inactive on February 9, 2016 (following a February 2, 2016 announcement), with a new blog entry announcing the closure.[7]
