Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.
At this very second, thousands of people are checking out projects
on Kickstarter. They're rallying around their friends' ideas, backing projects
from people they've long admired, and discovering things that make
them laugh and smile.
Every project is independently crafted, put to all-or-nothing funding,
and supported by friends, fans, and the public in return for rewards.
-
Independently crafted.
The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have complete control and responsibility over their own projects.
They spend weeks building their own project pages, shooting their own videos, and brainstorming
what to offer as rewards.
Rewards are things like a copy of what’s being made, a limited edition, or a custom experience related to the project. This isn’t Best Buy – rewards aren’t shrink-wrapped and ready to ship. Once the project is funded, the journey to bring them to life begins.
-
All-or-nothing funding.
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.
If the project succeeds
in reaching its funding goal
all backers’ credit cards are charged
when
time expires.
If the project falls short no one is charged.
Since our launch in April 2009, more than 20,000 creative projects
have been successfully funded by awesome people from around the world.
But Kickstarter is about much more than money...
-
The big picture.
People come to Kickstarter to build community around their projects. It’s inspiring to be supported by people you know, and amazing to connect with strangers who are discovering your ideas for the first time.
The feedback, press, and love that can come with
a Kickstarter project are just as valuable as the money raised. Ask anyone who’s done it before. There’s nothing like it.
Yeaaaaah boy!
Hi Robert, We are preparing to build a similar Jean-Pain in Belgium at the end of september. For Heating first, the methane supply will be for next year. I'm very currious if a smaller version as yours will do the job. I like your idea to work with a rectagular straw frame.
Make it the great!! And keep informing us on this exiting journey.
This looks like a great project with a lot of possibilities. I hope it can become easy enough for anyone to install (can't do it at my house as I have a small yard).
Your site and blog are a real inspiration! I don't know when I can get up to your neck of the woods but I look forward to the tour. Be the change!
Awesome Eric - THANKS! I'm off most weekdays - if you are around we'll hook up! -Rob
rob, we are totally behind you on this one! Love the updates and looking forward to the next phase. I'd like to give this a try in Ohio if you are successful! And if we are traveling anywhere near WI this fall, we are stopping ... by for sure!
Eric
