Kickstarter Launches Another Social Fundraising Platform
April 29, 2009 at 06:44 AM EDT
Andy Baio , blogger on Waxy.org and co-founder of Upcoming ( acquired by Yahoo back in October 2005), yesterday evening announced the release of Kickstarter . This is an online platform that enables just about anyone to raise funding from interested individuals. Basically, Kickstarter took what Sellaband is all about and applied it to a wider variety of projects, i.e. not only to discover and fund upcoming bands but anyone who does something creative (think designers, musicians, filmmakers, writers, etc.). At launch, the service is restricted to people who are invited to the service, but you can sign up here to be notified when that changes.
