How to Launch a Creative Project on Kickstarter
Your creative project deserves an audience. Kickstarter can help you find one.
Whether you're making a film, recording an album, creating an art project, launching a fashion collection, or bringing another creative idea to life, crowdfunding can help you fund your work while building a community around it.
Join Kickstarter for a practical session on what it takes to launch a successful creative project. We'll share lessons from thousands of campaigns across Film, Music, Art, and Fashion, along with the strategies creators use to build momentum before launch and keep backers engaged throughout their campaign.
We'll also cover two current funding opportunities for creators: the Kickstarter Culture Fund, our new $1 million initiative supporting creative projects across Art, Fashion, Film, and Music, and the Creative Scotland Forward Fund, which supports eligible Scotland-based creators. We'll explain how these programs work, what they're looking for, and how to know if your project is ready to apply.
You'll learn:
Why Kickstarter is uniquely built for creative projects
What successful Film, Music, Art, and Fashion campaigns have in common
How to tell a compelling creative story
How to set a realistic funding goal and rewards
How to build an audience before you launch
How to prepare for launch day and maintain momentum throughout your campaign
How Kickstarter's current funding opportunities can help support your launch
You’ll walk away with the tools, ideas, and inspiration to launch (and successfully fund) your own campaign.
We’ll save plenty of time for Q&A – submit your questions in advance when you register or ask them live.
About the Kickstarter Culture Fund
The Kickstarter Culture Fund is a $1 million fund supporting independent creators in Art, Fashion, Film, and Music through direct contributions to their Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns. It's the first fund financed directly by Kickstarter and a cornerstone of the brand's Power of Belief campaign. The Culture Fund puts belief into action by backing ideas worth supporting and matching that belief with meaningful financial support. Learn more and apply
