Kick Start

The world's largest funding platform for creative projects; a new way to fund and follow creativity. Kick Starter


If you're interested in the world of music, film art, technology, food, design publishing, or other creative fields, then you definitely want to know about Kick Starter. 

"A new form of commerce and patronage. This is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.

All or nothing funding. On Kickstarter, a project must reach its funding goal before time runs out or no money changes hands. Why? It protects everyone involved. Creators aren’t expected to develop their project without necessary funds, and it allows anyone to test concepts without risk.

Each and every project is the independent creation of someone like you. Projects are big and small, serious and whimsical, traditional and experimental. They’re inspiring, entertaining and unbelievably diverse."
