Goteo is a crowdfunding site which focuses on projects which, apart from giving individual rewards, also generate a collective return through promoting the commons, open source code and/or free knowledge.[2] It allows contributions in the form of monetary donations or in the form of tasks collaborating with the projects.[2] The platform started in 2011,[3] and is run by the Barcelona-based non-profit Goteo Foundation.[4] According to its site statistics, as of 2023, it has raised $17 million, with a rate of project success of 83% (90% in recent years), and a community of 185.000 users.[5] It claims it was the first free/open source crowdfunding platform,[3] and it tags itself as "the open source crowdfunding platform".[6]
