Welcome to GroupGets! Back in 2013 we were trying to get special-purpose processors for a passion project that were only sold in lots of 1000, we were surprised to find that a secure platform for initiating group buys for EXISTING things did not exist. The major crowdfunding sites were only for new product ideas, not existing stuff. While we are fans of traditional crowdfunding sites, they neglect people like us who are looking to team up online with people worldwide to acquire a widget or service that has a high minimum order quantity or that is a lot cheaper in volume.
So in true DIY spirit we built GroupGets to help people initiate or join group buys and collectively share product experiences. Vaporware and year-long shipping delays are not served here.
Makers, hobbyists, DIYers, crafters, artists, audiophiles, and deal hackers welcome.
Get some!
