Kickstarter
Kickstarter is a public benefit corporation based in Brooklyn, New York, that operates a global crowdfunding platform dedicated to creativity. Founded in 2009 by Perry Chen, Yancey Strickler, and Charles Adler, it enables artists, inventors, and entrepreneurs to fund their projects through community support. The platform allows creators to launch projects in various categories, including art, design, film, music, and technology, where they set funding goals and timelines. If a project meets its funding goal, the creator receives the funds to bring their idea to life. Kickstarter has supported a diverse range of projects, from independent films to innovative tech products. Notable successes include the Pebble smartwatch and the Veronica Mars movie. The platform has expanded its reach to creators worldwide, making it accessible to a global audience. Recognized for its innovative approach, Kickstarter became a Certified B Corporation in 2014, highlighting its commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the company transitioned to a fully remote workforce, continuing its mission to support creative endeavors.
