Is kickstarter.com down right now?

kickstarter.com is the official website of Kickstarter, a U.S.-based public benefit corporation founded in 2009 by Perry Chen, Yancey Strickler, and Charles Adler. The platform enables creators to raise funds for creative projects such as films, games, music, technology, and design by collecting small contributions from a large number of people.

Users visit kickstarter.com to discover projects, pledge money, and receive rewards tied to project outcomes. Creators launch campaigns with a funding goal and deadline, and the platform uses an “all-or-nothing” model—funds are only collected if the goal is met.

kickstarter.com is one of the most influential crowdfunding platforms globally, with billions of dollars pledged by millions of backers. It plays a major role in enabling independent creators to bring ideas to life without traditional funding channels.
