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.

About

Your friends, customers, supporters, and local community can invest in your company - with only one entry on your cap table. We help you raise more money, faster, so you can get back to what matters, building your startup. Plus, you'll have an army of evangelists motivated to help you succeed. Wefunder lets investors own a small stake in your company, while kickstarter allows you to sell products. We think kickstarter is super cool, but a customer is very different than an investor. A customer just expects a product โ€“ an investor wants to help your company long-term. Make your most loyal customers into owners, they are often your most passionate evangelists. Investors have a financial interest in helping your business succeed, for instance, if you own a brewery and your customer is also your investor, she'll likely drink more beer there, and bring her friends more often.

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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • When I signed up in 2017, I liked the idea of making investing accessible. I thought this would be the future, and a movement for the people.
  • Great for startups that can not raise money anywhere else. I know of 3 companies that tried raising but they were rejected and end up using this platform and all went out of business. So, if you have failed raising anywhere else, this is the platform to use.

Cons

  • Not only is this pretty much a return-less operation, Wefunder has been evading ALL accountability for allowing fraud on its platform. For almost half a year now, they've been playing games about this issue.
  • A place to lose your money, 100% of the startups I have invested in this platform have gone out of business since 2016. They do not do a good job in due diligence because they are desperate to get more companies on their platform. Use your local angel or venture fund organizations instead of these platforms.
