“I travel the world and wherever I go, I tell people about UpEffect. The work of UpEffect is very important in helping more people start successful social businesses”
Professor Alan BarrellUniversity of Cambridge
“I loved the professionalism of UpEffect's team, the great pieces of advice on the marketing strategy for the campaign, the way to approach the press and influencers, the feedback on content and visuals. In a nutshell, the permanent strive for making us ready for the launch, maximizing our chances of success.”
Jeroen Von OverbeekFounder of Social ImpaKt
“UpEffect are doing an incredible job for social entrepreneurs, they are a very dedicated, hardworking and supportive team who guided us every step of the way and really cared about our mission. Thank you UpEffect!”
Pete and SophCofounders of Little Difference
“Using UpEffect for our crowdfunding launch was an important first step for our social enterprise. The UpEffect team gave us the structure and direction needed to successfully reach our fundraising goal of £10,000 - a target that we thought was beyond our reach. With genuine interest in our social objective and close help from their team, we wouldn't be where we are today without UpEffect.”
Aghi and CristinaCofounders of Thraedable
“UpEffect is very important and is pioneering in creating social change. The platform is great! The team is always available! The UpEffect team has been incredible in answering our troubleshooting questions in split-seconds!”
Bonnie ChiuFounder of Lensational
"UpEffect has certainly surpassed my expectation for a crowdfunding platform. The team is very supportive and available 24x7, always on their toes, solving issues faster than you can raise them. There are so many social problems in the world, many problem solvers and so many people who are willing to support. Something like UpEffect is so much needed. Many more crowdfunding campaigns to come from me."
Rohit NayakCofounder of EcoAd
"My experience with UpEffect was wonderful. From regular Skype sessions, to make sure we were on track, to valuable guidance on marketing and filmmaking, I had a thorough learning experience interacting with you. Once again, I cannot thank you enough for your support. Moreover, your flexibility in times of unexpected issues was extremely helpful and I appreciate you for it."
