Kickstarter Reviews & Mentions

Jeff Phillips

Beardo (30000/month)

The most exposure and returns we have seen were directly resulting from being featured by the big fish like ‘Good Morning America’ and our Kickstarter.

Paul Dickey

Spuds (15000/month)

Kickstarter is an excellent platform for being able to start up a company. It allows you to create your Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and both test it with a centralized audience and to get funding without investing huge amounts into production and then finding the people to sell them to.

Joe Stech

Compelling Science Press (0/month)

I ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for a print anthology that ended up totalling ~$12,000. I plan on doing more campaigns of this type in the future.
