RocketHub is a launchpad and community for independent artists and entrepreneurs.
We offer an innovative way to raise money (Crowdfunding) and tangible opportunities to take creative products and endeavors to next level (LaunchPad Opportunities). RocketHub is a destination for emerging artists and entrepreneurs, and those who wish to discover and support innovative work.
Creatives launch RocketHub projects, upload submissions for LaunchPad Opportunities, and connect directly with Fuelers.
Fuelers support RocketHub projects and LaunchPad Opportunity submissions by voting, making financial contributions, and spreading the word through their networks.

RocketHub is a community for Creatives and Fuelers. RocketHub offers two distinct services:
We provide the credibility and infrastructure necessary to successfully leverage the financial power of your community, and offer the ability to discover and apply for curated opportunities. If you have a creative project, worthwhile endeavor, or are looking to discover valuable opportunities, RocketHub is here to help.
At RocketHub, a Creative is anyone who would like to launch a crowdfunding campaign or otherwise seeks to have his/her creative work developed, promoted, distributed or sold.
We support entrepreneurs, actors, artists, composers, dancers, designers, directors, filmmakers, inventors, musicians, painters, philanthropists, poets, politicians, programmers, singers, songwriters, teachers, writers, and more. Let your imagination run wild. If you have a creative project, worthwhile endeavor, or are looking to discover valuable opportunities, RocketHub is here to help. (Just keep it legal and in good taste :)
A Fueler is anyone who chooses to make a financial contribution to a RocketHub project and/or vote for a LaunchPad Opportunity submission. Creatives publicize their projects and submissions to friends, family and fans by inviting them to visit RocketHub. Visitors are asked to support Creatives in three important ways:
Fueling is the act of making a financial contribution to a RocketHub project, voting for a LaunchPad Opportunity submission or spreading the word to friends via email, Facebook, Twitter, your blog, etc. Fueling helps Creatives and RocketHub projects fly.
RocketHub badges are virtual rewards that display on each user's profile. Creatives and Fuelers unlock badges by completing specific tasks. RocketHub badges are designed to recognize accomplishments and display your dedication, enthusiasm, experience and success.
New badges will be introduced on a regular basis - so stay tuned. For more information what each badge represents, and how to earn badges read the RocketHub Badge Encyclopedia.
