Kickstarter

Kickstarter is an American-based company, founded in 2009 it gives developers and small studios the “tools” needed to raise funds for their projects via  through its website. Kickstarter isn’t just used for games developers, it’s also offers a range of supporting medias such as Film, Music, Stage shows, comics and even food related projects,

Now is 100% crowd funded, but the people can’t make any money by “backing” and giving money to their chosen project, BUT most if to all projects offer a mile stone kinds of system, example pelage $5 and get a shirt, $20 get an concept art book, $50 reserve a copy of the game,,, and so on) each pledge mile stone offers its own rewards and advantages, since some projects are closed and only open to the “backers” meaning if you want a copy of the game/music, you must put your money where your mouth is.

Kickstarter does take 5% of the funds raised, but clams no ownership over any projects feathers on the site, when a project is launched on the site; it is permanently archived and accessible to the public. Once a projects funding is completed, the project and any uploaded media cannot be edited or removed from the site. There is one down side to Kickstarter, and that is one you have helped fund a project, what garneted do you have that your money will be used for the project, or ill the project unexpectedly disappear?
