Users pool capital. Claude Fable builds in public. Everyone ships.
Join the MovementBrilliant ideas stay stuck in Discord servers. Founders bootstrap alone. Communities want to fund the software they need, but there is no mechanism. The friction is real.
A crowdfunding platform where software development becomes communal, transparent, and mission-driven. Pool capital around an idea. Claude Fable builds it in the open. Ship together. Own the outcome.
FablePool flips the script: instead of indie founders gambling alone, a community of stakeholders funds the vision and watches it come to life in real time. Every commit is visible. Every decision is shared. Success is collective.
Describe your software vision in 200 words. Set a funding target (e.g., $15,000). Define the scope: a CLI tool, a SaaS MVP, a mobile-first platform. FablePool suggests realistic budgets based on historical builds.
Community members fund the pool if the idea resonates. No equity. No subscriptions. Direct co-investment in a specific deliverable. Backers receive lifetime access to the software once built and updates for one year.
Once funded, Claude Fable begins development. Every commit lands on a public board. Weekly video briefings show progress. Backers vote on feature priorities. The development log becomes a permanent record of how the software came to be.
When the MVP reaches the funded scope, it ships. Backers get immediate access. Future updates are distributed for free to the backer group. Ongoing sustainability funding is optional: creators can fund Phase 2 rounds or migrate to traditional licensing.
Backers see commits, design decisions, and roadmap changes in real time. No opacity. No scope creep without consent. Trust is earned through visibility.
Weekly voting on feature priority. Backers influence what gets built next. The software evolves with its audience, not against them.
Validate demand before you code. If the pool doesn't fund, you know the market signal. If it does, you build with a war chest and committed early adopters.
Backers own their copy. Open source, source-available, or proprietary: your call. FablePool handles delivery, updates, and licensing infrastructure.
Weekly briefs, daily commit logs, forum discussions. No syncs required. Backers in any timezone stay aligned with the build.
Claude Fable handles the technical heavy lifting. You validate direction. Fable ships. You focus on product vision, not getting bogged in implementation details.
Kickstarter funds the creation of physical goods or media. FablePool funds software that begins shipping from day one. You see the code. You see the progress. You shape it as it emerges.
No. You choose the license: MIT, GPL, proprietary, source-available, whatever aligns with your vision. FablePool handles fulfillment and licensing regardless of the license you pick.
Backers get refunds automatically. No project starts unless it hits the target. This is a signal, not a failure: build conviction with your audience first.
You do. Backers license your software; they don't own it. You retain all rights. If you want to commercialize later, that's yours to do.
Yes. Use FablePool to fund Phase 2, new features, or a rewrite. Existing users can become backers for the next evolution.
FablePool takes 8% of successful pools. Fable AI development is 60% of the pool; creator stipend/marketing is 32%. This ensures Fable is well-resourced and creators have runway.
Beta access opens June 2026. Be the first to create a pool.
