We're building a recurring funding platform for adult content creators. Think of Patreon but ONLY for adult, erotic, or pornographic content. We are looking to cater to models, artists, game developers, and more.

An example use case would be an adult model creating a campaign with different reward tiers such as $5/mo and $10/mo. $5/mo subscribers would receive exclusive nude pictures whereas $10/mo subscribers would receive in addition nude or special kinky pictures.

Our mission is simple: "To empower creators in the adult industry with the freedom to pursue their passion". PledgeX is simply part of the movement that is seeing more and more of those in the adult industry becoming more independent and homegrown. And in a world where porn is thought of as free, we feel that there are those of us who will actually pay for high quality content.

We've just soft-launched but will be signing up our initial creators soon!

Downtown is slowly becoming the capital for creatives and tech as well. Not surprised if the Arts District takes the lead here.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Ask HN: Should I branch off my startup's technology into a separate company?

My two co-founders and I own a profitable home services company that runs on a proprietary technology platform that I've built. Over the past two years, I've put the majority of work into the startup, with most of the effort dedicated towards building and maintaining the platform. However, over the course of the past year, my two co-founders have begun to take a backseat in the operation of the...

Ask HN: What to do if co-founders are distracted by other business ventures?

I'm the technical co-founder of a startup with two of my close friends. We've been in business for more than a year and are profitable. However, both of my co-founders are constantly getting involved with other business ventures while I put in alot of work into the startup. I feel they aren't as completely committed as I am and it's definitely hurting our growth. Lately it's been very...
