What is Ulule?

Ulule is an online crowdfunding platform launched in France in 2010 that focuses on funding creative, innovative and community-centric projects. Some key things to know about Ulule:

• Ulule's name comes from the French expression "ou l'un, ou l'autre", meaning "either one or the other" - referring to how project creators either reach their funding goal and receive the money, or they don't.
• The platform is open to project creators from all over the world, but the site itself and project descriptions must be in French, English, Spanish or Italian.
• Ulule allows individuals, non-profits, companies and entrepreneurs to create campaign pages outlining their project ideas, fundraising goals, rewards/perks for supporters, and other details to attract interest and financial backing.
• Common types of projects hosted on Ulule include creative works (music, films, books, games), products/technology, community projects, events, business ideas, and more.
• Unlike some other crowdfunding platforms, Ulule uses an "all-or-nothing" model - project creators only receive the money raised if they hit 100% of their stated funding goal amount.
• There are no setup fees or commissions charged by Ulule to create a project. Instead, they take a fee of 8% if/when a project reaches its fundraising target successfully.
• Since launching, Ulule has helped over 35,000 projects raise over €190 million in community funding, establishing itself as one of Europe's leading crowdfunding sites.
