FAQ

Questions creators ask first

What does it cost if my campaign does not fund?: Nothing. No fee and no invoice. If the 30% gate is not met within 8 weeks of ads, we part ways and you also owe nothing.
What do I pay if it funds?: 10% of the net amount actually collected, with a $2,500 minimum, invoiced on day 1 after close and due on day 30. Plus 10% of late pledges and pledge manager add-ons for 90 days.
Who pays for ads?: You do, directly, in your own ad account. We bill ad spend at cost with no markup; most creators spend through their own card so it never passes through us.
Why would you turn my project down?: We do not run hardware without a working prototype, health or safety claims, IP you do not hold, goals set below real cost, or anything that hides shipping risk. Every project we turn down is a failure neither of us has to absorb.
Do you use software to write my page?: Software writes first drafts. A senior campaign reviewer approves every draft before it is used, and signs off the launch decision. You see who approved what, and when.
How do you get my numbers?: Kickstarter has no public API. You give us collaborator access and share weekly numbers: followers, reservations, email list size, ad spend and leads.
Which platforms?: Kickstarter tabletop games today. Gamefound tabletop and Kickstarter product design next.
Is the payment step real?: Not yet. Payments in this app run on a simulated processor so the whole flow can be checked end to end. No real money moves.
