Fund local outreach, printed barn materials, social promotion, community demos, and launch-area recruiting.
$3,000

$2,000
Privacy and trust updates
Improve chat-to-connect flows, gated contact sharing, ratings prompts, reporting paths, and safety language.
Product improvement milestones.
The Kickstarter story should be about what gets built next. Scheduling is the centerpiece, with reminders, privacy-safe connection flow, ratings, onboarding, and launch readiness supporting the same product direction.
Scheduling foundation
Define the shared appointment contract, connect owner and professional appointment views, and keep scheduling tied to accepted privacy-safe connections.
Professional-controlled reminders
Add reminder controls for scheduled service visits, with 24 hours as the default and 6 hours as an alternate reminder time.
Calendar and appointment polish
Improve upcoming appointment lists, appointment detail screens, notification copy, empty states, and service-category context.
Chat-to-connect flow
Tighten the path from matched chat to mutual connection so phone and address details remain gated until both sides agree.
Post-service trust loop
Create clearer prompts for ratings and comments after completed work while keeping owner-side privacy rules intact.
Launch readiness updates
Polish onboarding, app-store messaging, support surfaces, launch-area pages, and professional recruiting materials.
Best crowdfunding architecture.
Treat the campaign as a three-layer funnel: a Kickstarter project built around a clear launch deliverable, this owned EquinePro page as the source of truth, and ongoing social/email updates that all point back to the same story.
Kickstarter
Best high-upside launch
Lead with product improvements and delivery milestones.
Use if the campaign is framed as a finite launch project: a privacy-safe equine matching rollout, barn onboarding kit, and backer update series.
GoFundMe
Best fallback support path
Keep ready as the simpler backup.
Use if Kickstarter does not accept the project or if the message needs a simpler community-support format.
Direct page
Best owned funnel
Keep traffic, FAQs, and community trust on EquinePro.
Use this page as the permanent source of truth, with tracked links to the active campaign, waitlist, and updates.
Kickstarter tiers without investment language.
Keep every reward simple to fulfill. The campaign should not promise equity, returns, app access that cannot be delivered, or anything that turns backing into a complicated obligation.

Product trust is the campaign story.
The strongest message is not just that EquinePro needs funding. It is that the equine community needs a better way to find qualified help without posting private barn details in public groups.

Chat before contact
Names may be visible, but phone and address details stay gated.

Campaign FAQ.
These are the answers that should stay consistent across Kickstarter, social posts, emails, and this site.
Is this an investment?
No. Support is not equity, debt, profit sharing, or a financial return. It is community support for EquinePro launch work.
Why raise money now?
Crowdfunding gives the next product-improvement push a focused budget: scheduling, reminders, app polish, outreach, and trust features.
What will supporters get?
Supporters receive public updates, optional recognition, and tier-specific community perks. The core value is helping bring the product to more barns.
How does this protect users?
EquinePro is still built around gated contact sharing: names may be visible, but phone, address, and other private details stay hidden until both sides agree to connect.
Help EquinePro reach the next launch stage.
Until the public campaign URL is live, supporter conversations can start by email. Once the Kickstarter page is published, this button should point directly to the active campaign.
