Crowdfund is a full-stack app that uses machine learning to predict the likelihood of a project successfully receiving funding from online crowdfunding platforms.
Users can use this app to 1) find a reasonable monetary goal based on the number of people they plan to reach, or 2) implement a more aggressive marketing strategy if their goal is fixed but the number of expected backers is too low to ensure success.
The Crowdfund app was built as a tool for people who plan to fund their projects through online crowdfunding resources like Kickstarter or IndieGoGo.
The Crowdfund app utilizes Gradient Boosting, a machine learning technique, to create a predictive model. Using Kickstarter data, our goal is to determine a likelihood of receiving sufficient funding for a project.
