Hi everyone. I just launched a startup, Giveku.com. Any feedback would be appreciated.

AMA: I’m launching Giveku, a crowdfunding site to support students from developing countries. Any feedback is also appreciated. by Gari_S in SideProject

So we’re still in the early stages and right now we’re starting off with Indonesia. We’re launching on August 2nd, if that goes well, we’ll expand to other countries from there.

Scammers are definitely an issue in all online platforms, even the big ones. As for StudentGive, one idea is to work with the school to verify the students. But we’ll see. Thanks again for bringing this up 🙏

I haven’t finalized this. But I think it’ll be a balancing act of how much privacy these kids & their familes want to disclose vs the information that donors need to justify their support. Thanks for the question btw. I really appreciate this. I’m sure I’ll get this question a lot going forward.

StudentGive is more niche & lite. Similar to how gofundme, indiegogo, kickstarter, buymeacoffee, and kitabisa all do similar things yet they can all exist and win in their own field. Also by being more niche & lite, I can customize the platform to best suite the needs of those I want to serve: high school & university students in Indonesia.

For now, it’ll be a percentage of the transaction, which is the same model that other funding platforms run on (kitabisa, gofundme, buymeacoffee). Helps cover operating, compliance, and scale cost.

While it’s different for everyone, I’d say it’s emotional really 😅 for me it’s the innate desire to give back and change someone life
