We’re thrilled to announce that creator applications for BackerKit Topias 2026 are officially open!
Since launching our first Topia in early 2023, this crowdfunding initiative has grown into a vibrant, collaborative community of creators and backers. As a key part of Collab-Funding—a new, collaborative way of crowdfunding found only on BackerKit—Topias have redefined how creators connect, engage, and succeed together.
In Topias, creators build meaningful relationships, expand their networks, attract new fans, raise more funds, and most importantly—have a lot more fun along the way.
Whether you’re a first-time creator or a seasoned pro, Topias offer a space to thrive. The one thing all successful participants share? A deep belief that playing an active part in your community, with both creators and backers, is the path to campaign success. Even seasoned creators agreed—doing this together is far better than doing it alone.
