How does Kickstarter work?

Asked a year ago
Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that helps creators bring their projects to life. To get started, creators set a funding goal and a deadline. They then create a project page where they outline their vision, including rewards for backers at different pledge levels. People who are interested in supporting the project can pledge money towards it. If the project reaches its funding goal by the deadline, all pledges are collected and the creator can proceed with bringing the project to fruition. If the goal is not met, no pledges are collected and the project does not proceed. Kickstarter provides a platform for creators to showcase their ideas, build a community, and receive funding from supporters who are passionate about their vision.
