Some see Crowd Supply's close management of projects as the solution to the fulfillment failure rate of other crowdfunding platforms.[11] The site also serves as an online store for the inventories of successful campaigns.[12]
Notable projects from the platform include Andrew Huang's Novena, an open-source laptop.[13]
In 2015, Crowd Supply became compliant with the Free Software Foundation's Free JavaScript campaign and was endorsed as the FSF's preferred crowdfunding platform.[14][3]
