How Kickstarter works?
Each project initiator sets the required target funds and the deadline. If someone likes a project can invest money in it or support it in any other way. If the project is successful in collecting the planned funds all the invested funds will be assigned to initiator. If the required target funds for the project is not reached, initiator will not get anything out of investment.. The purpose of this system is a lower risk for everyone. If it’s collect a half of the planned funds, investors will want to project succeed, and they will manage the fundraising and also help you gather the same informing their friends on social networks or elsewhere. Until today, 44% of the projects has reach the financial target.
