De review
I Believe In You is a crowdfunding platform dedicated entirely to sport, operating a dedicated Austrian site alongside its original Swiss platform. It funds athletes, hobby athletes, clubs, and sports event organisers - its tagline asks whether you need support for your sporting dream - and explicitly serves the sports community rather than general or charitable causes.
The Austrian site is operated by I Believe In You Osterreich GmbH, based in Vienna (UID ATU69668068), under an established Swiss parent brand. It runs on an all-or-nothing funding model: a project owner receives the money only if the funding goal is reached within the campaign period, and if the goal is missed, all contributions remain with the backers. A success-based commission, which includes payment-processing costs, is taken only from campaigns that succeed.
The platform's strength is its single-minded focus on sport, which lets it tailor its tools, positioning, and support to athletes and clubs rather than spreading across every cause. The trade-offs follow directly: it is unsuitable for non-sport fundraising, its content is German-first and oriented to the Austrian and Swiss markets, and the all-or-nothing structure means a campaign that falls short returns nothing to the organiser. For Austrian and Swiss sporting projects these are familiar conditions; for broader or international fundraising the platform is not designed to serve them.
Campaigns on the Austrian site are denominated in euros, and the site shows a steady stream of live projects across different sports with running countdowns, indicating an active platform. The Austrian website is hosted on Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt, Germany, which keeps its data within the EU.
