AMBITION IS EVERYWHERE.
ACCESS IS NOT.

We believe funding should be fair, transparent, and aligned with success. That's why our fee structure is performance-based (to cover our operational costs as a non-profit).

Every campaign starts with a 1% commitment fee from the founder. With each successful campaign, Vukara receives a 7-8% contribution (based on campaign size) to sustain our platform and activities. We only receive support when you succeed!

We currently do not charge any fees for skill-based funding. This means founders can raise skills to grow their business and backers can directly support their favorite entrepreneurs. 100% of skill funding goes toward the intended purpose.

Once you have joined our platform as a backer, you will be able to access an overview of your contributions and your founder’s fundraising progress to ensure transparency throughout the campaign trajectory.

Backers contribute through expertise, network, or capital. Some bring professional expertise. Some open doors through their network. Some contribute financially where possible. Many combine all three.

Time is money. When a backer contributes expertise, a founder gains access to knowledge, strategy, or execution they might otherwise need capital to pay for. Funding in time allows you to support a project by contributing your professional skills. This is ideal for supporters who want to play a hands-on role in a founder's success.

• Skill-Based Support: Offer your specific talents (such as web design, marketing, legal advice, or project management) to help a founder overcome a hurdle that would otherwise cost them significant capital.
• Flexible Commitment: You can choose to help with a one-off task (like reviewing a contract) or commit to a long-term partnership (like managing social media for a set period).
• Mutual Growth: While the founder gets the help they need, you get the opportunity to build your expertise (or even portfolio), network with innovators, and see the direct impact of your expertise in real-time.

We're building toward optional paid certifications where validated completed skills certificates support backers in increased employability and provide recognized proof of achievement and skill building in practice. These certifications will be affordable and optional, ensuring access remains open while offering professional credibility for those who want it.

Network can open doors to customers, partners, suppliers, markets, talent, investors, or visibility. For many founders, the right introduction can unlock growth that money alone cannot.

Repayable capital is one form of backing, alongside expertise and network. You can act as an investor by choosing to contribute €10-€2,500 per transaction and receive your capital back (plus a return) in the future. We offer flexible timing: choose between a quick one-off payment or a sustained monthly commitment to help founders plan for the long term.

No. VUKARA is built around co-building, not generic advice. Backers contribute to specific business needs and stay close to real outcomes.
