High-effort creative work takes time, and algorithms don’t reward that.
We’re building a new way to fund meaningful projects through trust, not trends.
Our most thoughtful work (films, essays, investigations) has no reliable home. Creators are left chasing algorithms, grants, or whatever's trending that week. We are losing content. But more importantly, we are losing culture.
agora offers something more stable: a durable system where meaningful projects are funded through trust and not trends. A space where creators and patrons participate in something larger than themselves. A cultural commons.
agora allows creators to propose work at its earliest stage and build trust with their audience before anything is made. Every pledge becomes part of the record, and every backer a part of the work's story.
Validate your idea: Prove there's real demand before you commit months (or years) to the work.
Raise real capital: Secure early support directly from people who care about your vision. No more chasing grants or sponsorships.
Reward your backers: Patrons receive a permanent share in the project's success, recorded in the agora Ledger.
Whether you're making a film, writing an essay, or launching a new investigative series, we're building the future of independent creative funding.
Be among the first to shape it.
