Creators, businesses and artists looking for a platform to create and manage campaigns to fund their projects

About Kickstarter

Kickstarter campaigns make ideas into reality. It’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.

ArtistShare
ArtistShare
ArtistShare, founded in 2001, is widely recognized as the Internet's first "fan-funding" platform which later became the blueprint for many of today's crowdfunding websites such as KickStarter, IndieGoGo and PledgeMusic. Today we provide a rock-solid platform and award-winning professional services for the entrepreneurial artist. ArtistShare connects artists with fans in order to share the excitement and beauty of the creative process, document the work of today's most exciting creators and allow fans to participate directly by funding and observing the creation of new artistic works. ArtistShare is the ultimate expression of freedom for a creative artist as well as the ultimate expression of appreciation for a fan of that artist. ArtistShare's unique approach to the documentation of the creative process combined with the opportunity for fans to follow that process (and sometimes even be involved) preserves the precious relationship between artists and fans.

ChainPact
ChainPact
A decentralized peer to peer work contract or payroll decentralized application. There are currently two kinds of pacts that can be made using ChainPact - Gig pact and Proposal Pact. Gig Pact enables anyone to create a freelancing agreement or employment contract on the blockchain. This is a time based contract, where the employer pays the agreed upon payment at agreed upon intervals. The contract acts as an escrow smart contract for the payment. Further, a fundraiser or a kickstarter type campaign on blockchain can be created using the Proposal pact smart contract. It allows the creator to specify a certain voting start time and duration. So contributors can vote at a later date whether to disburse the collected funds to the creator's chosen account or somewhere else (like refunded back to the contributors)

    "Got swindled 765 dollars. Never got what I ordered!"

    Posted 2023-05-26

    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.

    Overall: Steer clear of this site. It is disgusting how a criminal organization site like this is operating out in the open.
