I first heard about Kickstarter via an independent writing group I am part of. I created a world with a writing partner and we were doing research about possible ways of creating different revenue streams apart from the usual online retailers and came across Kickstarter and thought that sounds interesting. I researched how it works and studied other campaigns and did my first test campaign earlier this year and reached my funding goal. Still got a lot to learn though but I'm nearly there with a second campaign which has upped the ambition level!

Hi,

My name is Nick van Ommeren from Artizta.audio. A year ago, the idea for a new speaker came to life—one that could deliver 360-degree sound. Being a Hi-Fi enthusiast for years, I found that nothing on the market in terms of 360-degree speakers came close to what I was looking for. So, I decided to develop my own speaker. Thanks to all the positive feedback from people around me, I made the decision to bring the Ferro (that’s the name of the speaker) to the market. To put it simply, developing and making a speaker market-ready requires a lot of money. A good friend of mine suggested that Kickstarter would be THE place for my speaker. I hadn’t heard of Kickstarter before, but now, after just one week, we’ve already surpassed our goal. So far, I’m really happy with the results. It’s amazing to see how people support each other, giving everyone a chance!

Best regards,
Nick

I'm a game store owner and we got many requests for kickstarter versions of games. We've backed many since then and customers love finding kickstarter versions of the newest hottest games.

I heard about KS from the newspaper and now we launched a project about a horror-thriller movie. I love that idea that a community can realize your passion. It can push some great ideas. Best regards, Denis

I came across Kickstarter while browsing YouTube before, and I found the platform very innovative. That’s how I became interested in crowdfunding.

I only recently learned about crowdfunding. Although I’ve been working in foreign trade for some time, most of it has been focused on platform-based trade, such as Amazon, Alibaba International, and AliExpress. This is my first time hearing about crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, and I find it quite fascinating. It’s true—you live and learn! I’m currently exploring this area as well.
