How Backers are protected
14-day review per milestone
When proof is posted, each Backer has 14 days to release their share or ask for more. Money not released in time goes back to the Backer.
15% fee, deducted — never added
Backers pay exactly what they choose. The 15% fee comes out of each backing: ₹10,000 gives the Dreamer ₹8,500. The fee is kept if money is returned.
Gifts, not shares
Backings are gifts. No shares, equity, interest or repayment, and Dreamers keep full ownership. Nothing on cohero is an investment or a loan.
Risks to plan for
- R1
Provider fit may change
You may need to change provider after initial appointments. Keep the opening stage small and explain how different session fees would alter the number of appointments funded later.
- R2
Missed sessions affect spending
Cancelled or missed appointments may still create costs under a provider’s terms. Check those terms before budgeting and explain how any charged cancellation would appear in the expense proof.
- R3
Privacy can feel pressured
Public funding can create pressure to share personal experiences. Set proof boundaries before publishing and use redacted receipts instead of session notes or descriptions of therapeutic progress.
Questions and answers
Who can fund a therapy dream in Jaipur?
Anyone with a clear goal, honest milestones and the proof to show for them. Every dream is reviewed before it goes live to keep the feed safe for Backers.
Do Backers need to know what I discuss in therapy?
Explain the session count, fee basis and funding period rather than the content of your appointments. Redacted receipts can show the funded service without exposing session notes, personal history or your reasons for seeking support.
Can I change therapists during the funded period?
If you change providers, update the remaining session budget and explain any fee or scheduling differences. Keep clinical reasons private and provide redacted receipts so Backers can understand how the revised block uses the funding.
