Company Overview
Kickstarter is a Benefit Corporation launched in 2009 to enable creatives to crowdfund for start-up costs. The platform helps game developers, entrepreneurs, artists and more to directly connect and communicate with supporters and fans. Positive impact on society is an integral part of Kickstarter's mission statement.
Kickstarter is a leading crowdfunding platform offering tools and resources that help creative entrepreneurs launch their projects, connect with fans and supporters, and reward backers with unique gifts and services in exchange for their donations. An "all or nothing" model means that every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline, but the backer credit cards don't get charged unless the project succeeds in reaching its funding goal.
