Kickstarter is the world's largest funding platform for creative projects. Every week, tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields.
A new form of commerce and patronage.
This is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.
All or nothing funding.
On Kickstarter, a project must reach its funding goal before time runs out or no money changes hands. Why? It protects everyone involved. Creators aren’t expected to develop their project without necessary funds, and it allows anyone to test concepts without risk.
Each and every project is the independent creation of someone like you.
Projects are big and small, serious and whimsical, traditional and experimental. They’re inspiring, entertaining and unbelievably diverse. We hope you agree... Welcome to Kickstarter!
Thanks! All done.

It's how we roll.
80% there!
Let a few more people know, or double up your pledge.
Maybe add trapeze time trinkets on the last day.
thanks to all you backers- we're in it to win it now.
I'm happy to kick in a little to help fund The Relentless! Yay!
You rocked Ephemerisle! Yeah!
Excellent to see the artstead make it to the Delta for [not]Ephemerisle this past weekend! The boat looks amazing -- keep up the good work.
This looks like the perfect vessel for the upcoming Bayview to Breakers:

I love this. How much do I have to pledge to get you to sail (drive?) it to LA for a show!?
I very much look forward to helping (in person) with this as well!
This looks so awesome -- and what a great idea to deploy it in the SF Bay as a floating venue!
