Ko-fi Creator Crowdfunding Platform

Ko-fi is an online platform that enables digital creators, artists, writers, and podcasters to receive financial support, donations, and memberships directly from their audience. Founded by Nigel Pickles in 2017, the concept was designed to be a simple and friendly way for fans to 'buy a coffee' for creators without taking a percentage of direct donations.

The platform is developed, operated, and headquartered in the United Kingdom under Ko-fi Ltd (or Ko-fi Labs Ltd). As a cloud-hosted digital service, it does not involve physical product manufacturing, but its technical operations, development, and administrative management primarily originate in the United Kingdom.
