What is Kickstarter?

Kickstarter transforms groundbreaking ideas into actual products, enabling creators to share their distinct artistic visions with the world while rallying support from passionate communities. This platform allows creators to retain complete authority over their projects, liberating them from the lengthy processes of applying for grants, the influence of external donors who may modify their messages, or the interruptions that investors might introduce. When backers invest in and champion these initiatives, they become part of the creative journey, fostering a deeper connection with the projects. Engaging your community is essential, often beginning with leveraging your personal network to generate interest. The most successful campaigns often create a chain reaction, with early supporters disseminating the idea among their social circles, thus broadening its appeal to a larger Kickstarter audience. This phenomenon can expand remarkably, with over 20 million contributors worldwide actively participating in various Kickstarter projects. Our mission is to support the realization of these creative ventures, as we believe art and innovation are crucial for a vibrant society, ultimately enriching the cultural fabric that benefits everyone. By connecting creators with their supporters, we aim to nurture a thriving ecosystem where creativity can flourish freely.

    Got swindled 765 dollars. Never got what I ordered!

    Date: May 26 2023
    Summary

    Steer clear of this site. It is disgusting how a criminal organization site like this is operating out in the open.

    Positive

    None. This site should be shut down! I don't know why it's still up, but this site is full of scammers which they NEVER even attempt to stop!

    Negative

    I backed a project from Watermelon games called Paprium which was supposed to be a fund raise for Watermelon games to port Paprium to the consoles. I ordered 3 collectors editions and a specialized joystick. Fast forward a year later past the deadline which was at December 2022 I still never received it. I tried disputing the charge, but Kickstarter "validated" it while pretending they are a "legitimate" business. Worse is that a tweet was made on December 25th which I never noticed at the time, but a backer on Facebook saved it prior to the tweet being deleted. It showed that the developers were admitting to their backers that the project was a scam. This site should be seized by the FBI.
