TORRANCE, Calif. – A new crowdfunding platform for the adult entertainment industry plans to launch April 15.

Inspired by the popular mainstream platform GoFundMe, CumFundMe allows people in the adult industry to raise money for business or personal cause. Campaign operators may raise funds for any use, including cosmetic surgery, emergencies, tuition, production budgets, events and charities.

“Our vision was to create a platform that not only could help adult performers raise funds for their personal needs and causes, but also could help adult companies raise funds for their needs, as well,” said Chief Executive Officer Ricky Booker. “It really bothered me to see campaigns get shut down on other crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe and Indiegogo because the person posting the campaign was an adult performer or their campaign was related to adult entertainment.

“This could be just what the adult industry needs to get back afloat and help fight against the free-porn massacre,” he continued. “Performers aren’t making what they use to make back in the day, and smaller companies can’t surface because they can’t afford it. A lot of smaller adult companies have innovative ideas for scenes, parodies, sex toys, etc., but have no funds to bring the project to life.

“CumFundMe will be the source that performers and adult companies can connect with their fans, friends and people all around the world,” Booker added. “The adult industry now can have a crowdfunding platform that they can call home and tell their stories and causes.”
