Hello fellow Reader.
“If you haven’t been living under a rock” is such a cliché to begin writing an article such as this that I’m quite tempted to avoid using it. I’ll go with “if you haven’t been living in a cave” instead.
So if you Reader haven’t been living in a cave for the past couple of years you’ll have probably heard about Kickstarter by now. If you’re still unaware of it let me shed some light onto this mysterious name: Kickstarter is a crowdfunding tool available to anyone with a nice project and the will to be an entrepreneur, but who lacks the funds to finance said project. As the name implies the “crowd”, normally us in the internet (and probably the people your project is aimed at), will provide the funds if your project is tempting enough (with nice prices, stretch goals and free stuff some would say).
