Kickstarter is a Brooklyn, New York-based crowdfunding platform that seeks to revolutionize how creative projects are supported around the world. Founded in 2009, Kickstarter has since received over $6 billion in pledges to fund over 200,000 creative projects in the areas of technology, dance, music, film, journalism, video games, and more. As an employer, Kickstarter has offered full-time, part-time, and 100% remote work opportunities in the past. Eligible roles may receive benefits, including health insurance, a 401(k) plan with company match, and education and wellness stipends. All full-time team members can work 100% remotely and live anywhere the company is registered as an employer. Kickstarter donates 5% of its annual profit after taxes to organizations that promote arts education and fight systemic racism, and all full-time employees can nominate organizations and join the committee that ultimately determines where the company’s money goes.

Kickstarter’s mission is to “help bring creative projects to life.” The company prides itself on being a place where creators share their ideas and visions with communities that fund them. Kickstarter’s clients range from well-known organizations like the Smithsonian Institution and TLC to small-scale clients working toward providing meditation vinyl records. The organization’s goal is to make it easy for creators to have full control of their work without having to contend with long grant applications, last-minute edits from investors, or other onerous obstacles. Over 21 million people across the globe have helped fund Kickstarter projects. Since its inception, Kickstarter has been named one of the Best Inventions of 2010 by Time magazine and “the people’s NEA” by The New York Times.
