All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Offering Circular Filed Pursuant to Rule 253(g)(2) File No. 024-11496 Fig Publishing, Inc. Fig Portfolio Shares – Series 2021 Up to 15,000 Shares $1,000 per Share This offering circular relates to one or more offerings of securities under Regulation A, Tier 2. Each offering is being conducted on a best efforts basis by Fig Publishing, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with all consolidated entities, “we”, our “Company” or “Fig”). In each such offering, Fig offers investors the opportunity to buy shares of a different series of its non-voting preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, all of which series we refer to collectively as “Fig Portfolio Shares”. We designate each separate series of Fig Portfolio Shares by a name that includes the year to which that series relates, as more fully described below. We are a publisher of video games and related products and systems. We have in the past sold, and continue to sell, different series of non-voting preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, all of which series we refer to collectively as “Fig Gaming Shares.” Each different series of Fig Gaming Shares is designed to pay dividends based on the economic success of one or more specific, pre- determined video games, products or systems. Fig Portfolio Shares are different. Each series of Fig Portfolio Shares is designed to pay dividends based on the economic success of multiple video games, products or systems that are not pre-determined at the time of investment, but are instead determined by Fig’s management over the course of using the proceeds of this offering, subject to deadlines described herein. Each series of Fig Portfolio Shares will pay dividends based on the revenue the Company receives under a publishing licensing agreement with yet-to-be identified developers from sales of particular video games, products or systems funded by the sales of such series once they are developed and commercially available. However, since the Company’s management will decide which products to publish after investors purchase the shares of Fig Portfolio Shares, investors will not be able to evaluate the video games, products or systems, their stage of development, the developers, the potential for commercial success or the terms of the publishing license agreement before investing in the Fig Portfolio Shares. Therefore, investors will not be able to assess the likelihood, potential amount or timing of any dividends that may be paid on the series of Fig Portfolio Shares. If investors do not approve of how the Company’s management is using the proceeds of an offering of Fig Portfolio Shares, including the developer, the product or the terms of the license agreement selected by the management, investors will be unable to exit their investment since Fig Portfolio Shares are not tradable or transferrable. Furthermore, while investors will have the right to the return of any funds raised through the sale of the series of Fig Portfolio Shares deposited in an Escrow Account (as defined herein) net of fees and expenses if not used in a specified period, the Company’s management may have the incentive to use all the funds even if their choices could yield lower returns for investors or result in long delays before any games, products or systems are fully developed or capable of generating revenues. This offering circular has multiple parts. Every investor should read the main part, which describes Fig generally. After the main part, there are different schedules. Each schedule describes a different series of Fig Portfolio Shares being offered. Each investor should read the schedule or schedules that describe the particular series of Fig Portfolio Shares in which they may invest. As of the date of this offering circular, we are offering the following series of Fig Portfolio Shares under this offering circular: Fig Portfolio Shares – Series 2021: We are offering a maximum of 15,000 Fig Portfolio Shares – Series 2021 (“FPS – Series 2021”) at $1,000 per share. Shares of FPS – Series 2021 are designed to pay dividends based on the economic performance of the video games, products or systems that Fig decides to co-publish, as determined by Fig’s management, over the course of using the proceeds of this offering, subject to deadlines described herein. All proceeds raised, less 2.7% (which amount we will retain to pay transaction fees that we incur in connection with this offering), will remain in a non-interest bearing escrow ● account maintained on our behalf by Prime Trust, LLC (the “Escrow Account”) until such funds are deployed as described herein. FPS – Series 2021 are preferred shares of capital stock of Fig with no voting rights, which are designed to reflect the economic performance of certain co-publishing and revenue sharing agreements that we will enter into with various developers. Under these co-publishing and revenue sharing agreements (the “Portfolio License Agreements”), we will co- publish certain games, products and systems (collectively, the “Portfolio Products”), as developed by various developers (the Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document “Portfolio Developers”). We reserve the right to begin deploying proceeds of this offering following the first closing of this offering, even if we have multiple closings. Nevertheless, investors in prior closings will not be given a preference compared to later investors with respect to dividend rights. Provided that the Portfolio Products are successfully developed and published, sales receipts from the Portfolio Products will be shared as follows: Receipts will be allocated into a revenue share for Portfolio Developers and a revenue share for Fig, in the proportions ○ described in greater detail in this offering circular schedule. See “The Portfolio Products, the Portfolio Developers and the Shares” in this offering circular schedule. Fig will pay a minimum of 85% of its revenue share to the holders of FPS – Series 2021, in the form of dividends, subject ○ to our dividend policy. Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Fig’s board of directors (our “Board”) may, in its sole discretion, from time to time, pay more than 85% (and up to 100%) ○ of Fig’s revenue share to the holders of FPS – Series 2021, if in the Board’s view business conditions so permit. Dividends on FPS – Series 2021 will be declared every six months, as of every May 15 and November 15, and paid thereafter, in all events after such time (if ever) as the Portfolio Products are successfully developed and published and sales receipts begin to be received. Aggregate dividend amounts will be distributed equally among all holders of FPS – Series 2021, in proportion to the number of shares held. In the event Fig does not contribute all of the proceeds of the Offering as Fig Funds for the previously disclosed purposes, any proceeds of the Offering as Fig Funds not otherwise used for previously disclosed fees related to the offering will be returned to holders of FPS – Series 2021 on a pro rata basis, without interest or deduction except for any transaction costs incurred by the Escrow Agent, which we believe will be approximately 1.0% of the funds, in returning the funds and any outstanding expenses related to the Escrow Account, on the second anniversary of the final closing of this offering (the “Escrow Expiration Date”). As the Escrow Expiration Date will be on the second anniversary of the final closing of this offering, in the event that any proceeds are not used to support Portfolio Products, investors who participate may not receive their pro rata return of their unutilized investment amount for over three years, depending on the length of time the offering is open. There is no minimum amount of FGS – Series 2021 that we need to sell, meaning we could raise a very small amount of money to deploy into Portfolio Products For more information on FPS – Series 2021, please read Schedule Series 2021, as well as the main part of this offering circular. There is no trading market for any Fig Portfolio Shares and we do not expect one to develop, in part because we have imposed certain transfer restrictions on all of them. As a result, investors should be prepared to retain their Fig Portfolio Shares for as long as the shares remain outstanding, and should not expect to benefit from any share price appreciation. The principal economic benefit of holding Fig Portfolio Shares is the opportunity to receive dividends, if the games, products or systems associated with the particular Fig Portfolio Shares held are a commercial success. Each offering of a series of Fig Portfolio Shares shall continue until the earlier of (i) 240 days after qualification of the offering statement or offering statement amendment for that series (which date we may extend one time for up to an additional 240 days, in our sole discretion, with any such extension to be reported on our platform, Fig.co, Republic.co and the filing of an offering supplement pursuant to SEC Rule 253(g)), and (ii) the date on which all of the offered shares in that series have been sold, or such earlier time as we may determine in our sole discretion.

  • FIRST® Fundraising Toolkit
    FIRST® Fundraising Toolkit Team Crowdfunding Campaign Interviews The interviews below give an overview of FIRST Team Crowdfunding Campaigns. Questions include how teams picked their funding goals, the pros/cons of the crowdfunding campaign and the best practices used to run the campaigns. These interviews cover campaigns created using the crowdfunding sites Kickstarter, GoFundMe, and Piggybackr. FRC Team 696 - 2013 KickStarter Campaign: How did the team pick the monetary goal they wanted to reach with the crowdfunding campaign? o The first year we went for $2,500 and got about $3,100. I think the $2,500 was just a shot in the dark. Last year, we lowered our expectations to $2,000. We discussed the slow economy as the main reason. We felt that the average donation would be $25 and we would need 80 backers at that level. As our team has 30 students, we felt each student could find two $25 backers if pressed and the rest would come in from backers that found us on the site. What challenges did the team run into when trying to reach this goal? o It seemed that the kids didn't network as well as we would have liked. I had hoped that each student would have reached out to more friends, family and parent’s co-workers for support. Getting responses from backers, tracking rewards and mailing the rewards was also difficult. How long was the campaign? o 45 days Page 1 of 6 Rev. 1.0 - 12.15.13RB How did the team choose the different levels of sponsorship for the campaign? o We looked at other projects, both FIRST teams and other Kickstarter projects that had been funded.

  • The 9 Epic Lessons Learned from Dozens of Successful Creative Kickstarter Campaigners
    The 9 Epic Lessons Learned From Dozens of Successful Creative Kickstarter Campaigners Hey there crowdfunders I'm Matt and for the last several months Kickstarter and Indiegogo have been my life. In my podcast Art of the Kickstart which highlights inventors, entrepreneurs and creators using crowdfunding as a means to amazing innovation I've interviewed tons of awesomely inspiring and uniquely talented individuals, 60+ in total and its been a wild ride. From questions on campaign strategies, lessons learned from failure and the always important tips and tactics to success these crowdfunders have shared so much with me and my audience. I want to end my endless ramblings here, a mere explanation of the individuals and influence behind all that this post shares and I sincerely hope the lessons and ideas here help you create and conqueror your own unbelievably awesome endeavors. The 9 Epic Lessons Learned From Dozens of Successful Creative Kickstarter Campaigners 1. More time, more effort, more everything. One of the biggest fallacies creators and inventors have when considering Kickstarter or Indiegogo is the unbelievable time commitment and effort necessary to successfully bring a product to market. Perhaps said best: "Invention is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." -Thomas Edison Creators out there don't see the sweat, blood and tears which go into the entire inventive process. From idea to assembly line it takes months if not years of devoted hard work. Can you dedicate yourself to this passion or product and sacrifice all it will take to build a truly great business(crowdfunded or otherwise) around your concept? If not consider if it's really a good idea to be building products and putting yourself out on Kickstarter in the first place.

    68th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), Adelaide, Australia, 25-29 September 2017. Copyright ©2017 by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). All rights reserved. IAC-17-### Crowdfunding For Space Missions Graham Johnsona a Inmarsat Global Ltd. [email protected] Abstract Crowdfunding (via websites such as kickstarter.com) has become an increasingly popular method for funding projects and start-up companies for a wide range of terrestrial products and services. A small, but not insignificant number of space projects have also used this method of fundraising, and there is potentially much greater scope for this type of funding. This paper presents an analysis of crowd-funding campaigns that have been used to fund space- related projects, and in particular, spaceflight missions. It assesses the relative success of these campaigns and proposes some insights as to what makes a successful space crowdfunding campaign.

  • Early Prediction of the Outcome of Kickstarter Campaigns: Is the Success Due to Virality?
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-019-0261-6 OPEN Early prediction of the outcome of Kickstarter campaigns: is the success due to virality? Alex Kindler1, Michael Golosovsky1 & Sorin Solomon1 ABSTRACT The spread of information, opinions, preferences, and behavior across social media is a crucial feature of the current functioning of our economy, politics, and culture. One of the emerging channels for spreading social collective action and funding of novelty in all 1234567890():,; these domains is Crowdfunding on various platforms such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Sella- band, and may others. The exact spreading mechanism of this collective action is not well- understood. The general belief is that virality plays a crucial role. Namely, the common hypothesis is that the information or behavior propagates through individuals affecting one another, presumably, through the links connecting them in social networks. The aim of our study is to find out the actual spreading mechanism in one particular case: spread of financial support for individual Kickstarter campaigns. To our surprise, our studies show that “virality” plays here only a minor role. We used this result to construct a simple behavior-grounded stochastic predictor of the success of Kickstarter campaigns which is not based on the viral mechanism. The crucial feature of the model underlying the prediction algorithm is that the success of a campaign depends less on the backers influencing one another (“virality”) but rather on the campaign appealing to a particular class of high-pledge backers. This appeal is usually revealed at the very beginning of the campaign and it is an excellent success pre- dictor.
