Step 1
Discovery and swipe
Every Dream on cohero appears as a full-screen card in the Discover feed. You swipe right to save a Dream you want to come back to, or left to pass. Saved Dreams are collected in your Saved list, so you can compare them calmly before you decide to back anything.
The feed only shows Dreams that our team has reviewed and approved, and only while the Dreamer's account is in good standing. Dreams from people you have blocked are never shown to you, and you never see your own Dreams in the feed.
Swipe right to save
The Dream goes to your Saved list and you can open its full page at any time.
Swipe left to pass
The Dream leaves your feed. Passed Dreams can be shown again later if you reset the feed.

Step 2
What a Dream card tells you
A Dream card is designed to answer the important questions at a glance. It shows a cover photo, a short title, the category, the city or region, how much has been raised and the total goal. Opening the card shows the Dreamer's story in their own words, photos or video, and the complete milestone plan.
The milestone plan is the heart of every Dream. The goal is split into milestones, and the amounts of all milestones always add up exactly to the goal. Each milestone describes what will be done and what proof the Dreamer will show when it is finished.
Story and media
Who the Dreamer is, why the Dream matters and what it will change.
Goal and progress
The total goal, the amount raised so far and how many milestones are complete.
Milestone plan
Each step with its own amount and description, in the order it will be delivered.
Step 3
Back directly, milestone by milestone
When you back a Dream, you choose whether to support the whole Dream or a single milestone, and how much to give. Your backing is a gift of support: you receive no shares, equity, interest or financial return.
You pay the Dreamer directly using one of the payment methods they added, such as PayPal, Wise, Revolut, a Stripe payment link or a bank IBAN. cohero never receives or holds the money and takes no commission, so the full amount reaches the Dreamer.
- After paying, you tap I've sent the amount in the app.
- The Dreamer is notified, checks their account and confirms the payment.
- Confirmed payments are added to the Dream's progress for everyone to see.
Step 4
Proof and review
When a milestone is done, the Dreamer submits proof: a written update together with photos, video, receipts or documents that show the work. Milestones are proven in order, so an earlier milestone must have proof before a later one can be submitted.
Everyone who backed or follows the Dream is notified in the app and by email. You can look at the proof, ask the Dreamer questions in the chat and decide whether to back the next milestone.
- Convinced by the proof: back the next milestone with the amount you choose.
- Something unclear: ask for more information, and the Dreamer can add details or files.
- Not convinced: simply stop. Every payment is one you send yourself, so nobody can charge you again.
Step 5
Safety, rewards and your control
Backing step by step is your protection: you only continue to support a Dream after you have seen real progress. Every Dream is reviewed by our team before it goes live, and you can report a Dream or block a person at any time.
Dreamers can offer an optional reward per milestone, such as a thank-you video, early access or a product. Rewards are always goods or experiences, never money, interest or shares.
Keep your conversations on cohero and only pay through the payment methods shown on the Dream page. That keeps a clear record we can review if something goes wrong.
