I initially heard of kickstarter but used some years ago indiegogo as a crowdfunding platform because kickstarter was available only in america, i got to know it mainly thanks to a tv show were they were talking about it.
We heard about Kickstarter a long time ago when we bought a product that had initially been a Kickstarter campaign. Now we visit it every few days, and just launched our own campaign!
I learned about it from an artist I was following years ago. She started her own campaign selling plush at the time. I've always wanted to try it as an artist myself but I think I was afraid to fail and that held me back. This week i finally took the leap!
