When people back your project, they are not only giving you money, but they’re giving you permission to talk to them about your ideas and future projects [...], you now have a way to talk directly to people who want to hear from you.
It is a unique advantage for the creator launching their project on a crowdfunding platform – entrepreneurs get direct feedback from their backers and are able to benefit from the ‘wisdom of crowds’, which is sometimes more valuable than the funds obtained. Moreover, Kickstarter, as a social platform, is an important marketing tool, helping to connect with the audience and spread the word about the project. The platform itself is also actively involved in the project – firstly, by a thorough examination of the project pitched (25% of the projects are declined for non-compliance with the platform’s guidelines ) and later, by helping the creators to attracts more backers, through making the video, adjusting the
