Kickstarter has always had a very clear mission — to bring creative projects to life. With over $8 billion pledged, we're proud to say we've been true to that mission. And now we're continuing the momentum. Starting with Late Pledges, we'll be unveiling new initiatives designed to provide end-to-end support to creators and backers, every step of the way. Because we’re more than just a crowdfunding platform.
By launching on Kickstarter, you’ll be able to bypass grant applications — and get funded your way. Creators will also have the chance to reach more people than ever thanks to our robust (and well-known) community and swap tips with other creators who have launched over 600k projects and counting.
Start a ProjectWhen you pledge a project on Kickstarter, you’re not just buying something, you’re becoming part of a unique process. As a backer, you get to connect with creators, offer feedback, discover innovative ideas and rally behind the projects that speak to you.
