Build a Community
summary
Kickstarter is presented as a platform where specific communities fund concrete outcomes: $10.2 million Pebble after a $100k goal, 91,000 backers for Veronica Mars turned years of “no” into a $6M movie, open-source geiger counters and 100+ citizen satellites actually launch, a human-powered helicopter meets a long-standing prize, several Kickstarter films reach the Oscars, and overall a billion dollars moved through repeat backers—projects show factory tours, monthly making‑of videos, and measurable results.
