When we decided to develop and launch BackerKit Crowdfunding<\/a>, we had very ambitious goals.<\/p>\n

We wanted to reimagine what crowdfunding could be and build that future together with creators, develop a rapidly-evolving platform that kept pace with creators\u2019 needs and uncapped imagination, and deliver a creator and backer experience that was better every time.<\/p>\n

We want creators to live their best creative lives.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And when you start thinking in terms of the lifetime pursuit<\/em> of a creator, and the lifetime value<\/em> of a backer, you begin to think in the very long term and far outside the one-month, one-campaign-lifecycle box that\u2019s contained crowdfunding platforms, tools, and experiences since the very beginning.<\/p>\n

We built BackerKit Crowdfunding from the ground up to fundamentally break free from this mold \u2013 one which creators had long outgrown. I\u2019m proud to share that we\u2019ve made significant strides towards this vision and these goals in very little time.<\/p>\n

In under two years of offering BackerKit Crowdfunding for creators<\/a> in beta, we\u2019ve released tools and features that have already begun to reimagine and redefine key areas of the crowdfunding journey, effectively changing what it means to run a campaign today.<\/p>\n

Below are those tools and features that illustrate our vision of modern crowdfunding. Some of the most successful creators have wielded them to achieve their best campaigns to date and even break some industry records in the process<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After over a decade of working with fellow creators, I\u2019ve learned that the most common cause of unsuccessful projects isn\u2019t the lack of funding \u2013 it\u2019s failing to launch at all.<\/p>\n

And I get it, because I\u2019ve been there myself. Sharing your project to the world is a leap of faith. It\u2019s nothing short of a courageous act. But the simple act of saying your goals out loud carries power, and we believe announcing a project is the single most impactful first step a creator can take towards their goal.<\/p>\n

What was missing was an easier and faster way to do it.<\/p>\n

This belief is what inspired us to develop the BackerKit Teaser Page<\/strong> \u2013 a page that announces your campaign ahead of your launch date and offers a sneak peek of your project to build excitement around your crowdfund. It also serves as a destination page that:<\/p>\n
