Bringing creative projects to LIFE
“The What”
KickStarter is a new way to fund creative projects.
Official Launch April of 2009
Each Kickstarter Campaign is independently created.
Together, creators and backers make projects
happen.
Creator’s keep 100% ownership of their work.
Creative works were funded this way for centuries.
Backing a project is more than just giving someone
money.

My View
It helps build a long lasting community base with
the backers in the website.
Strict project guidelines establish an ethical
practice. Avoids duplication.
Successful projects become self sustaining
Startup’s.
Transparent funding system allows smooth flow
of funds and marketing activities.
Optimal utilisation of resources.
