About
We're transforming how places are made. groundUP is a crowdfunding platform for urban development. We connect locals with innovative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of residents. We're enabling creators to leverage demand from the community in unprecedented ways, & giving power back to the people to dictate how local neighborhoods take shape. We make it easier for creative people to realize visions for their communities & build places people love. Fundable projects include enhancements to the built environment (e.g. infrastructure & property development) as well as the cultural and natural environments of an urban area (e.g. public amenities, art, parks, & events). One key differentiation from other crowdfunders: we work with socially responsible investors, foundations, & major brands to attract even more project funding. We match these clients w/ opportunities for profound community impact based on brand alignment (sponsorships) & investment goals.
