Kickstarter
A home for film, music, art, theater, games, comics, design, and more.
Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that helps creators raise money to bring their creative projects to life. It supports a wide range of categories including film, music, art, theater, games, comics, design, and photography. Backers can pledge funds to support projects they believe in, often receiving rewards in return.
Creators post a project with a funding goal, and backers pledge money; if the goal is met, the project receives the funds.
