About Makeship
What is Makeship?
Makeship is a Canadian 🇨🇦 crowdfunding platform for content creators. Through collaborations with creators, we enable the design and creation of high-quality, limited edition custom products and experiences.
We are not a traditional crowdfunding platform, we design, manufacture, test, and ship all the products we put our name on. Our approach for campaigns is extremely data-centric, we help each of our creators to launch a successful campaign.
Simply put, we are the easiest way to launch a high quality product.
What do we value?
- Quality We test all our products extensively, they are designed to last
- Sustainability Success should not come at the cost of the environment, read our environmental policies here
- Transparency We value honesty above all, and it shows through our interactions, sales, and policies
- Long-lasting Relationships Makeship builds long term relationships with our creators, we work with them through multiple campaigns
- Unique products Our products are sold as a limited-edition campaign, we don't produce the same campaign twice, each design is custom drawn by our team
- Simplicity Working with us is extremely easy and straightforward, if you want to work with us just shoot us an email at team@makeship.com
