Most funded Kickstarter projects 2024
Kickstarter and crowdfunding Founded in 2009, Kickstarter has turned into one of the most prolific crowdfunding platforms worldwide. The site enables creators to generate funding for their projects, circumventing traditional avenues of investment and opening the market for niche productions. Each project has a deadline, and if the pre-set funding goal is not met, no funds are collected. Until October 2012, the website required projects to be based in the United States before opening to the United Kingdom and later Canada in September 2013. Project backers do not have to reside in the United States.
