About

Kickstarter campaigns make ideas into reality. Itโ€™s where creators share new visions for creative work with the communities that will come together to fund them. No matter what, creators always control how the work comes together, no 100-page grant applications, no donors demanding you modify your message, no last-minute edits from investors. When backers chip in funding and help spread the word, they too become part of these independent works. Tapping into our community starts with activating your own. Most successful projects build a snowball effect, winning over friends and early supporters who then share the idea with their networks, and signal their support to the wider Kickstarter community. The snowball can get pretty big. Over 20 million people, from every continent on earth, have helped fund Kickstarter projects. Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life. We believe that art and creative expression are essential to a healthy and vibrant society.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Sweet gesture; although, no longer practical. Venmo or Cash app. Is instant. I am certain there will be better options in the future than this.
  • Easy to use, if the company doesn't kowtow to government ideologues.
  • None, There's nothing to recommend re this service unless you are a marketing expert. If you are a marketing expert, why pay them?

Cons

  • Takes WAY too long to receive payment. Free site that charges too much for no marketing or support. Some people have told me they have never gotten their money or, it took months to get it.
  • GoFundMe shuts down fundraising for causes the left doesnโ€™t like. That's antithetical to a free society.
  • GoFundMe has no marketing at all. When a project is listed, it just sits there. If donations are desired, the creator of the project must Market the campaign or nothing will happen. If you don't have a Facebook, Twitter, following or other marketing tools, the project will just sit there and dwindle. I tried to setup a fund campaign to assist low income women with housing. Total donations were NOTHING. I am not a marketing expert. I have an intentional small footprint on the internet because of how oppressive governments have become.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 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!

Cons

  • 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.
