If 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.

Also 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.

Yeah would love to! What’s best email for ya?

I 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.

Hey that’s so weird, can I help? It’s not us, it’s stripe but wiling to get the team to check on it

Thanks for the positivity. We just launched our own pledge manager and a bunch of new features too :)

Sorry to hear about your experience Sean, we released our own pledge manager so less creators you support on Kickstarter will have to use Backerkit

Great choice :)

Thanks for the support Katie, just so you know - we now have our own pledge manager with add-on features

Kickstarter, we now have a pledge manager with the add-on features. Best of both worlds.

We 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-...

Mistakes were made, but rather than dwelling on them - we’ve used it to motivate us to building a much better platform

I 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-...

Agree to disagree. But I’ll let our actions do the talking :)

No 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.

Loved 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-...

Kickstarter isn’t just for indie passion projects anymore
With 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.

Hey 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)
