Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that allows individuals and businesses to raise funds for creative projects, such as films, music albums, video games, and more. The platform was launched in 2009 and it operates on a “all-or-nothing” funding model, meaning that projects must reach their funding goal in order for backers to be charged and for the project creator to receive the funds. Kickstarter is open to a wide variety of projects, from independent films and music albums to innovative technology and design projects. Users can browse and search for projects, and if they choose to support a project, they can pledge money in exchange for rewards, such as a copy of the finished product or exclusive access to behind-the-scenes content. It is considered as one of the most popular crowdfunding platform, which helped many creators to bring their projects to life.
