Name of the Platform
Kickstarter
Description:
Kickstarter can be used to create all sorts of things: art and gadgets, events and spaces, ideas and experiences. But every project needs a plan for creating something and sharing it with the world. Thousands of creative projects are raising funds on Kickstarter right now. Kickstarter is a platform and a resource. Project creators set a funding goal and deadline. If people like a project, they can pledge money to make it happen. Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing — projects must reach their funding goals to receive any money. If a project is successfully funded, we apply a 5% fee to the funds collected.
