Seed&Spark Celebrates the New Year By Taking a Look Back at 2015 Achievements

Earlier this month, crowdfunding platform for films Seed&Spark celebrated 2016 by taking a look back at its 2015 achievements.

The Seed&Spark team shared:

Seed&Spark Logo“2015 was a year of firsts (and thirds, and fourths) for Seed&Spark. We produced our first VR film. For the first time, a film that crowdfunded on Seed&Spark is premiering at Sundance. We ushered our first film through its theatrical release. We released the third and fourth issues of BRIGHT IDEAS magazine, and are poised to print the fifth. 2015 was also a major year for growth. To help illustrate just how rad the last 12 months were, we’ve compiled some stats below. We think they’re kind of impressive.”

Some of the crowdfunding platform’s achievements include the following:

  • 114 crowdfunding projects successfully raised more than $1.8M from more than 16,000 supporters.
  • 75% of all campaigns on Seed&Spark successfully reached the Green Light. (This world-best number—twice that of the next best platform—held steady even as the platform doubled the number of campaigns.)
  • $16k+ was raised on average by each successful campaign. Again, that’s more than 2x the other guys, and an indicator that Seed&Spark’s attracting the most ambitious filmmakers.
  • 5,000+ filmmakers were reached by the #StayIndieTour across 50+ cities. Also worth mentioning is the fact that filmmakers who crowdfunded on Seed&Spark after taking one of our workshops were successful at a rate of 100%.
  • 2016Introduced an unprecedented opportunity for filmmakers where gathering 500 or more followers unlocks access to Seed&Spark’s multi-platform distribution pipeline.
  • Launched Seed&Spark 2.0—a brand new platform based on feedback from our community over the last 2+ years that gives filmmakers even better tools to build and engage audiences.
  • 6 new Seed&Sparkers joined the crew, bolstering our crowdfunding, original content, marketing, distribution and product teams.

More important, Seed&Spark celebrated its third birthday. The platform then noted:

“Looking ahead to 2016, we’re expecting more firsts, bests, and most importantly, a continually expanding and engaged community that is ready and willing to help us develop this ecosystem where being a filmmaker requires you to have 0additional careers.”
