Startups & Product Launches
Validate your idea, build your MVP, and launch with the support of your first customers and biggest fans
Bring Your Vision to Life, One Block at a Time
GoodGrid offers a unique approach to startup funding and product launches. Instead of traditional crowdfunding with tiers, create an interactive pixel grid where supporters can sponsor blocks to help you reach your goals.
Validate Your Product Visually
A sample 20×20 grid for a new app launch:
James A.

Sarah H.
First customer here! Can't wait to use your product.
Tom K.
Supporting innovation! Your idea could change everything.
Michael D.
Early investor here! Your problem-solving approach is brilliant.
Early supporters can claim their space on your product's launch grid with a personal message
Blocks cost up to £1 each, and supporters can purchase multiple blocks to increase their contribution
Watch market validation happen visually as your grid fills with supporters
Perfect for Startups & Products
MVP Funding
Raise the capital you need to build your minimum viable product. Each sponsored block brings you closer to launching your prototype and proving your concept.
Product Pre-Launch
Build anticipation before your product hits the market. Create a visual community of early adopters and brand advocates who feel personally invested in your success.
Community Bootstrapping
Bootstrap your startup with support from your community. Your grid becomes a visual record of your earliest believers who helped make your vision possible.
Real-Life Example: NodeMap App Launch
The Challenge
The NodeMap team needed £10,000 to complete development of their visual project management app. They had a working prototype but needed funding to polish the UI, add key features, and prepare for launch.
The GoodGrid Solution
They created a 100×100 grid with blocks at 25p each, offering early access to supporters who purchased at least 20 blocks. They positioned the campaign as a chance to "own a piece of NodeMap's journey."
The Results
The campaign reached 85% completion in just 3 weeks, raising £11,250. More importantly, they built a community of 420 early adopters who were emotionally invested in the product's success, leading to valuable feedback and word-of-mouth promotion.
"GoodGrid offered us something traditional crowdfunding couldn't - a visual representation of our community's support. Our early adopters loved seeing their blocks on the grid, and we could watch market validation happening in real-time as the grid filled up."
How It Works for Startup Campaigns
Create Your Grid
Set up your campaign with details about your product, vision, and funding goals. Choose your grid size and block pricing.
Rally Your Supporters
Share with your network, potential customers, and the startup community. Create urgency by highlighting prime positions on the grid.
Build & Launch
Use the funds to build your product while keeping your supporters updated on progress. When you launch, your initial users are already invested in your success.
Tips for Startup Campaigns
💡 Suggest Block Quantities
Encourage supporters to purchase multiple blocks tied to specific rewards or benefits. For example, "£25 worth of blocks gets early access" or "£100 worth of blocks includes lifetime premium features."
💡 Tell Your Startup Story
Share your founder journey, product evolution, and vision for the future. People invest in stories and founders they believe in, not just products.
💡 Showcase Social Proof
Highlight endorsements from industry experts, testimonials from beta users, or support from known figures in your space to build credibility.
💡 Create FOMO with Grid Placement
Designate premium positions on your grid (corners, center, specific patterns) and create scarcity by limiting availability or offering them first.
