Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Real impact. More than 1 million jobs have been created through @Kickstarter. ✨ I’m grateful to lead a company with such a meaningful mission helping creators bring their dreams to life while creating opportunities and economic impact for countless others around the world. 1202
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Yes currently exploring solutions to this on our roadmap 000
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Also, I’m going to fight like hell on this for our creators and community. Things are already in motion. 2669
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 19/05/2026You don’t know me, but literally said this verbatim. 000
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Here’s an update on Kickstarter’s mature content policy: updates.kickstarter.com/an-apology-r...updates.kickstarter.comAn Apology: Rethinking Our Mature Content GuidelinesLast week, we released a set of updates to our rules around mature content. It was our first time publishing a set of detailed, specific guidelines for adult-oriented content on Kickstarter. And hones... 29547
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 18/10/2025If you manipulate the truth, make unsubstantiated claims, state uninformed opinions, or you’re just outright mean - then you’re no better than the orange man.  130
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Let me know best email, or the email associated with your account 110
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Also I engaged with only 8 people, only 1 of which was critical of Kickstarter. If that’s “a LOT” in your book, I will agree to disagree. Always open to feedback, as long as it’s fair. 020
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Yeah would love to! What’s best email for ya? 100
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 14/06/2025I think you’re being overly critical here, I’m always going to lead with kindness. I care a lot about our users and when I have time, I try to read about how people are experiencing the service and offer help where I can. Corporate type? Ha, you have no idea. Definitely the opposite. 000
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Hey that’s so weird, can I help? It’s not us, it’s stripe but wiling to get the team to check on it 110
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Thanks for the positivity. We just launched our own pledge manager and a bunch of new features too :) 000
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Sorry to hear about your experience Sean, we released our own pledge manager so less creators you support on Kickstarter will have to use Backerkit 100
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Thanks for the support Katie, just so you know - we now have our own pledge manager with add-on features 010
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Kickstarter, we now have a pledge manager with the add-on features. Best of both worlds. 010
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Well I certainly am biased but Kickstarter of course fellow Taylor :) 110
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 29/05/2025We also just launched “Pledge Over Time” to the Kickstarter community yesterday. This will allow backers to split their pledge into three equal, interest-free monthly payments! 💸 Giving our backers more flexibility and helping creators raise more. updates.kickstarter.com/introducing-...updates.kickstarter.comPledge Over Time – Flexible Payments for BackersOur newest feature gives backers increased payment flexibility and gives creators more ways to convert interest into support, so they can reach higher together. 120
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Officially launched our Kickstarter Pledge Manager to the world a couple weeks ago. Been amazing to see the adoption so far and how satisfied our creators have been with the product. It’s been a long time coming but worth the wait. updates.kickstarter.com/bringing-the...updates.kickstarter.comKickstarter Pledge Manager: Now Available to All CreatorsA streamlined way to manage post-campaign logistics and offer add-ons and upgrades, without ever leaving the Kickstarter platform. 140
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Mistakes were made, but rather than dwelling on them - we’ve used it to motivate us to building a much better platform 120
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 29/05/2025I appreciate that. When I came in 2.5 years ago, I made it point to change this company around. It’s definitely not the same Kickstarter. We also just launched Pledge Over Time yesterday too: updates.kickstarter.com/introducing-...updates.kickstarter.comPledge Over Time – Flexible Payments for BackersOur newest feature gives backers increased payment flexibility and gives creators more ways to convert interest into support, so they can reach higher together. 111

Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Our pledge manager and tariff manager are both live now btw :) 100
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 29/05/2025I genuinely laughed out loud on this one. More great non-blockchain things to come. 010
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Appreciate this positive feedback, more to come. 000
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Kickstarter pledge manager and tariff manager are live now btw :) 010
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Hahaha completely fair. Doing our best to make up for lost time. 120
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Agree to disagree. But I’ll let our actions do the talking :) 000
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 29/05/2025No we’ve been working on these post-campaign tools for a long time now, it just happened to coincide with everything happening. We are not the same Kickstarter as before, promise you that. 000
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Just donated to the GFM and will shoot you an email Charlie. 010
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 01/05/2025Really sorry to hear the news Charlie, if I can support you in any way - please don’t hesitate to reach out. 100

Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 06/04/2025Loved this story from Fast Company about Kickstarter’s impact on the current film industry… with the changing landscape, filmmakers need Kickstarter more than ever. www.fastcompany.com/91308923/in-...fastcompany.comKickstarter isn’t just for indie passion projects anymoreWith Hollywood studios retreating from anything that's not IP-driven, creators are finding a new path forward—and a more direct relationship with their audiences. 000
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Here at Kickstarter we recognize how the recent U.S. Tariff changes are impacting creators and we want our creators to know that we are here to help them navigate this moment. As CEO, I’m completely dedicated to supporting creators during this time. updates.kickstarter.com/navigating-t...updates.kickstarter.comSupporting Creators Amid U.S. Tariff Changes — A Kickstarter Letter of SupportRecent U.S. Tariff changes are impacting creators, here are some tips, tools, and support to help you move forward. 010

Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Would you be down to hop on a call sometime? If so, let me know your best email. I really appreciate the transparency, this matters to me 000
Everette Taylor @everettetaylor.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Hey quick update, just want to let you know the team is investigating now. will keep you posted as things progress. We technically have to ask them to provide proof of progress, if they can’t or don’t respond - we can take things to another level (and we will) 470
