Kickstarter

We are a crowdfunding and launch platform founded in 2009. We support creative projects across 15 categories, having helped over 275,000 projects raise more than $8 billion in pledges from a community of 23 million backers.

Our software platform includes mobile apps for iOS and Android. These apps offer features for user engagement, content creation, search, discovery, video, and payments.

We also manage tax-aware payment flows (including VAT, HST, and GST) across many international jurisdictions, handling regulatory compliance, refunds, settlements, and financial reporting. We actively engage with specific communities like comics and collectibles.

Additionally, we handle community support, privacy requests, and trust & safety, which includes addressing fraud, policy violations, and reputational risks.

Our mission is to bring creative projects to life. As a Public Benefit Corporation, we are dedicated to equity and transparency.

We prioritize the success of independent creators and support diverse perspectives. We also aim to strengthen a global community that contributes to culture.
