Curated forward-funding platform

Fund the idea.
Build the thing.
Own the first run.

Original art, design, and limited-run physical Builds — each reviewed through an approved Build Plan before it can collect funds.

When payments are enabled, backers will be able to reserve approved Build Slots through Stripe. No Build may collect funds until its Build Plan has been reviewed.

Operated by Pennyworth LLC

Build Backers is operated by Pennyworth LLC, a Texas-based company with practical experience in physical goods, auction operations, inventory handling, liquidation, fulfilment workflows, and product movement.

Build Backers applies that goods-handling discipline to creator-led physical Builds. Each Build is reviewed for payment structure, production risk, fulfilment path, and backer clarity before it can collect funds.
