How does Lucky Ant work?
If your project is selected, Lucky Ant will feature it on our website as our project of the week. You will be the only project for the entire week on our website. You have seven (7) days to reach your stated goal. When the goal is reached, Lucky Ant transfers the funds over to you. If the goal is not reached, nothing happens.

Why only one business per week?
By focusing the community’s attention on one project we believe that it increases the likelihood that each project will get funded. It also means more visibility for your business. As thousands of Lucky Anters in your neighborhood visit our site you are front and center. For one entire week the stage is all yours.
