How it works
From discovery to launch — how BackerCove works.
Two clear paths: one for backers finding and following projects, one for creators listing and promoting them. Pick your side.
For backers
- 1
Join free
Create a backer account in a couple of minutes. Browsing the directory doesn't even require one.
- 2
Verify your email
Confirm your email to unlock following, saving, offers, and Discord.
- 3
Discover & filter
Explore the directory and filter by category, platform, status, funding, and launch date.
Open the directory → - 4
Follow & save
Follow projects to get their updates; save the ones you're mulling over.
- 5
Unlock community offers
See member-only offers on project pages, provided by creators.
- 6
Join the Discord & back on-platform
Connect Discord for the community, and when you're ready to pledge, you'll do it on the campaign's own platform.
For creators
- 1
Register as a creator
Set up your creator account and complete your company profile.
- 2
Start a submission
Open the multi-step submission form — it auto-saves as a draft as you go.
- 3
Submit for review
Accept the agreements (including that results aren't guaranteed) and submit.
- 4
Work the review loop
We review and either approve, or request specific changes for you to resubmit.
- 5
Go live
Once approved and scheduled, your project publishes to the directory.
- 6
Book a consultation (any time)
Use your free introductory consultation — or a paid Strategy Session — to sharpen the plan.
