Success Story: Freddie Wong and RocketJump Raise $1M+ with Nail House, Patrons Drive 34% of Funds Raised
The first project to use BackerKit’s Patreon Integration was for Freddie Wong, the No. 7 Patreon podcast creator and for his RocketJump team.
Their wildly successful feature film campaign Nail House raised $1,037,447 with 10,621 backers and is now the #1 Crowdfunded Action Movie of All Time and the #1 Crowdfunded Film of 2025 across all platforms.
RocketJump hit these milestones in large part by using BackerKit to leverage the support of their Patreon audience. Patrons who backed Nail House:
- Drove 34% of total funds raised
- Generated 25% of all pledges
- Pledged 36% more than the average Nail House backer
“BackerKit helped me maximize my Patreon following, boost revenue, deepen fan connections, and streamline all my crowdfunding efforts. BackerKit let me tap into the smartest people alive: Dungeons and Daddies Patreon supporters and reward these remarkably brilliant individuals with perks on our crowdfund campaign.
– Freddie Wong, Co-founder of RocketJump and Dungeons & Daddies,
#7 Patreon Podcast Creator
Nail House has also broken some personal records for this 13-year crowdfunding creator:
- #1 Crowdfunded Project for Freddie Wong / RocketJump
- 1st Million-Dollar Campaign for Freddie Wong / RocketJump
Why Patreon Creators are Launching Crowdfunding Projects on BackerKit
Patreon and BackerKit are both part of the $260 billion-dollar creator economy serving creators of all kinds, many of whom use both the Patreon subscription model and BackerKit Crowdfunding to sustain and expand their fan-driven businesses.
Many Patreon creators choose to launch crowdfunding projects to:
- Create a new revenue stream that seamlessly complements Patreon subscriptions
- Activate patrons with exciting, time-bound funding events
- Convert both paid and free Patreon subscribers into backers
- Give patrons a new way to engage with their community of patrons and fans
- Grow their Patreon subscribers with backers on BackerKit
“BackerKit’s platform speaks for itself, and I have found their engineering ethos has remained steadfast and unchanged since we first started using BackerKit to help us manage the VGHS fulfillment. Matt also has personally plowed an irresponsible amount of money into BackerKit projects through his Medici-like stewardship of independent board game creators.”
– Freddie Wong, Co-founder of RocketJump and Dungeons & Daddies
Creators like MCDM Productions and Bonkers Romance are just a few of the Patreon creators who are also BackerKit creators launching projects in the next year.
