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.

i am so happy i saw this on Kitson's facebook page today - i love you guys and hope the next 24 hours will bring in a lot of visitors :)
P.S. Just noticed the last line of the project description. But fyi you can add other pledge levels after creating a project.
Hi,
Great stuff. The video gave me goose bumps and also brought a smile to my face.
I have to say I love your first album. Which is why I'm sending a quick comment. I would love to see you guys add a new pledge level for the new album when it's released, a little less than the $75 signed copy. Maybe one for the digital download, one for the physical disc, and one for both. It's just a thought. I do love the method of including your first release as a form of instant gratification.
Really want to see you guys succeed! Best wishes in the next five days. I'll put the word out.

I just pledged $41 to celebrate my 41st birthday next week!
My heart is bursting with immense gratitude for your medicine... I feel you.
I love you guys, and I know you can do it. I'm super excited for my t-shirt also. It will match the words that have been coming out of my mouth since I first saw you.
