Based in New York, Kickstarter allows individuals to back creative projects and receive tangible rewards and unique experiences in return. The platform charges a 5% fee on the total funds raised, in addition to a payment processor fee of 3-5%. Since its launch in April 2009, Kickstarter has facilitated over $6 billion in pledges, supporting the realization of ideas in fields such as movies, music, art, theater, games, comics, technology, fashion, food, design, and photography. In 2022, the company plans to experiment with a work-from-anywhere policy, a four-day workweek, and new asynchronous work practices to foster a fully virtual and flexible work environment. Job openings can be found on their website, and Kickstarter aims to make the world a more creative place by enabling users to discover and back new projects or launch their own in areas like games, tech, fashion, art, film, comics, and music.
