Fundlify’s true customers aren’t “all Shopify merchants.” They are the ones who must validate demand, secure cash flow, or de-risk inventory before production. This group splits into four overlapping segments:

1. Made-to-Order & MOQ-Constrained Brands
   • Small-to-mid DTC brands (fashion, furniture, ceramics, print-on-demand) that can’t produce unless they hit a supplier’s minimum order quantity or gather enough pre-orders to cover upfront costs.
   • They need customer commitment before buying materials, preventing wasted capital or dead stock.
2. Drop & Launch-Driven Brands
   • Streetwear labels, capsule collections, collectibles, and indie game launches that thrive on scarcity and hype.
   • They run time-boxed campaigns to generate social momentum and require tools to manage orders, countdowns, and fulfillment seamlessly.
3. Creator & Community-Led Commerce
   • YouTubers, streamers, artists, and influencers entering product commerce.
   • They want to avoid Kickstarter fees and rules, keep traffic on their own Shopify store, and own the backer/customer data for lifetime value (LTV), remarketing, and community growth.
4. Wholesale & B2B Preorder Teams
   • Distributors, small-scale manufacturers, or B2B sellers who need to secure partial payments, quotas, and deadlines before committing to large production runs.
   • This segment values Fundlify’s ability to coordinate group commitments and manage threshold-based campaigns.
