Frequently asked questions
How does CAMPFIRE source its proprietary deal flow?
Deal flow originates entirely from campaigns hosted on its own crowdfunding marketplace. CAMPFIRE has first-look access to consumer demand data, backer demographics, and campaign velocity — metrics that function as underwriting signals before any capital commitment is made.
Which sectors does CAMPFIRE explicitly avoid?
The platform's historical deal flow concentrates on consumer products, creator-driven media, and community platforms. CAMPFIRE has not demonstrated appetite for deep-tech, biopharma, or enterprise-SaaS investments, reflecting its retail crowdfunding customer base.
What is CAMPFIRE's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
The firm conducts no syndicated co-investments alongside institutional GPs. As an operator-owned marketplace, CAMPFIRE underwrites independently, with no disclosed history of partner-manager relationships or co-GP structures.
