What is Based & Bankrupt?
Based & Bankrupt is a platform designed for indie hackers and builders to fund the unglamorous essentials of their projects. It allows users to create a shopping list of specific needs, such as domain renewals or AI costs, with clear pricing. Backers can then fund these items, enabling builders to ship their projects without the overhead of traditional funding methods.
The platform emphasizes transparency and progress tracking, providing a public record of funded items and their completion. It focuses on small, actionable funding that directly supports project development, fostering trust between builders and backers through a simple, cause-and-effect system.
