Kickstarter is the home of creative independence.

For 17 years, Kickstarter has been the place where belief becomes real. Where creators fund and launch their ideas, and backers support what matters to them.

We believe that the power belongs with you. As a Public Benefit Corporation, we hold ourselves accountable to our impact on society.

FOR CREATORS

Inside each of us there is a power, called belief.

Kickstarter creators shape culture across every category: Art, Film, Music, Fashion, Games, Design & Technology, Comics, Publishing, and more. They are artists, entrepreneurs, influencers, craftspeople, and hobbyists who have launched hundreds of thousands of projects to an audience ready for their creativity.

Start your project

Belief is born in the glimmer of optimism that says, this is something.

See how creators are taking matters into their own hands, pouring belief into their projects, and building connections with their community.

See project

Belief pulses to life when someone else agrees, this matters.

Something big is coming for independent creators

Belief is about to pay off. We’re hard at work building something for the creators who keep culture moving. We can’t wait to share the news with you. Sign up to be the first to know.

FOR BACKERS

Belief builds the future when enough of us join together and say, this deserves to be real.
