What is Kickstarter?

Kickstarter is the largest US crowdfunding platform, empowering artists and engineers to raise funds from ‘crowds’ of individuals. Since 2009, Kickstarter has helped raise more than $250 million for more than 24,000 projects.

Mike Bulajewski, User Experience Designer, describes Kickstarter on his blog Mr Tea Cup, as:

 ”A place where artists and engineers can connect with the people in direct peer-to-peer relationships who aren’t just buying entertainment, they’re helping make dreams a reality.”
