Although there are many different crowdfunding platforms in operation, none of these services are specifically designed for outdoor-related fundraising. This online platform makes it easy for users to raise funds for their next adventure by connecting them with an audience of other outdoor enthusiasts. Fortua is designed for those who are trying to fund a personal or charitable outdoor adventure. Unlike other crowdfunding platforms, Fortua gives fundraisers the option of asking for donated gear, [expert advice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outpost) or even volunteer time. Creators are also encouraged to post insights, tips and advice that may be useful to other users. The idea is to help users fund their outdoor endeavors by reaching out to people who enjoy the same types of activities. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Adventure-based Crowdfunding:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional crowdfunding platforms by creating a specialized platform for outdoor enthusiasts. - **Outdoor-specific Fundraising:** Opportunity to disrupt general fundraising platforms by providing a platform tailored specifically for outdoor adventures. - **Collaborative Outdoor Community:** Opportunity to disrupt outdoor community platforms by creating a space where outdoor enthusiasts can connect, share advice, and support each other's adventures. ### Who This Affects Most - **Crowdfunding:** Opportunity to disrupt the crowdfunding industry by offering a niche platform for adventure-based fundraising. - **Non-profit:** Opportunity for non-profit organizations to utilize adventure-based crowdfunding platforms to fundraise for outdoor charity projects. - **Outdoor Equipment:** Opportunity for outdoor equipment companies to partner with adventure-based crowdfunding platforms to offer donated gear or exclusive discounts to fundraisers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crowdfunding Feedback Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feedfund.md) - [Outdoor Enthusiasts Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-enthusiasts-marketplace.md) - [Gamified Crowdfunding Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiltify-personal.md) - [Next-Gen Crowdfunding Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indiegogo.md) - [Luxury Adventure Travel Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-adventure-travel.md) - [Safety-Focused Crowdfunding Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/running-mate.md) - [Adventure-Based Fitness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mount-fitness.md) - [Guided Exploration Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guided-peaks.md) - [Off-Road Campsite Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-adventure-mobility-platform.md)
