About Kickstarter.com
Kickstarter.com is a website run by five guys based in Brooklyn, NY. The concept is simple: A person has a project that needs a little boost to get started. This person posts their project to Kickstarter.com and promises rewards based on how much money people pledge to their project. Other people sign into Kickstarter.com and pledge money towards projects they favor. If a project meets or exceeds the funding goal by the deadline, the backers' credit-cards are charged (these are donations, not loans, btw) and the person begins their project and sends out the rewards to their backers upon completion of their project. Projects can be anything really, but often include producing a music album, saving collections from the dump, funding a trip, and even making a mural into handbags. Learn more.
