Los Angeles is raising.
Los Angeles neighborhoods run on independent food, creative studios and service businesses — exactly the kind of work that funds well from its own community.
Founding campaigns are open in every state. If you run a business or a community organisation here, you can be the first one on this page.

LA's small business economy is spread across dozens of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own regulars. That makes a citywide marketing budget useless and a neighborhood ask extremely effective.
Common raises here are equipment for a kitchen or studio, a build-out after signing a lease, or getting through a slow stretch without cutting staff.
Because Pledzy campaigns keep what they raise, a partial raise still buys the oven, the booth or the permit — it just does it in stages.
