    “

    Kickstarter is basically the place where 'what if' becomes 'here it is.' It’s not just about the money; it’s about finding the people who want what you’re making as much as you do.

    자주 묻는 질문

    The all-or-nothing model is a core feature of Kickstarter where creators only receive funds if they meet their initial financial goal. If a project falls short of its target, no money changes hands and the creator receives zero. This system acts as a strategic risk-mitigation tool, ensuring that creators aren't stuck with insufficient funds to fulfill their promises to backers, such as manufacturing a high-end camera lens.

    Since its launch in April 2009, Kickstarter has become a massive engine for creativity, though the stakes for creators remain high. Statistics show that the platform has a success rate ranging from approximately 37% to 42%. While over 24 million people have pledged more than 8.7 billion dollars to various projects, the all-or-nothing model means that only those who reach their full funding goal successfully secure their creative project funding.

    Kickstarter protects both parties by ensuring that projects are only funded when they have enough capital to succeed. By using the all-or-nothing model, the platform prevents creators from being legally or financially bound to deliver a product they cannot afford to make. This approach minimizes the risk of disappointed backers and helps maintain the integrity of the pledge fulfillment process for the millions of people supporting creative ideas.
