Unbound is a crowdfunding publisher.

Our best idea? Listening to yours.

We believe great ideas shouldn’t fall between the cracks because they don’t fit the mould.

That's why we've built a platform and publishing model that shifts the balance of power, allowing people and communities to champion the voices which deserve to be heard.

We’re changing publishing – and putting the crowd in control.
