Kickstarter (Crowdfunding Platform for Creative Projects)

Kickstarter is an online crowdfunding platform that enables creators—such as artists, inventors, designers, and entrepreneurs—to raise money for their creative projects by appealing directly to the public. Instead of seeking traditional investors or loans, project creators set a funding goal and deadline, then showcase their idea through a campaign page. People interested in the project can pledge money to support it, often in exchange for rewards or early access. If the funding goal is met or exceeded by the deadline, the creator receives the funds; if not, no money transfers occur. Kickstarter helps turn innovative ideas into reality through community support.
