Kickstarter - a new way to fund creative ideas. The concept is great and simple: via www.kickstarter.com creators have the opportunity to introduce their idea to the public and to inspire people to buy pledges by offering products, benefits, or fun experiences. A project must reach or exceed its funding goal or no money changes hands. Each project has up to 90 days to reach its funding goal. The creators keeps 100% ownership. Have a look for more details at their website.
