What is Kickstarter?

By Madeline McPhail

Hey Pashionistas!

It’s been almost a week since Pashion Footwear officially launched on Kickstarter, and we are nearly 30% funded!  Thank you all for your continuing support and your help spreading the word about the world’s first convertible heels!

Many of you have asked about Kickstarter, so we thought we’d give you a breakdown of exactly what Kickstarter is, how it works, and steps to help you order your Pashion heels!  

What is Kickstarter?

“Kickstarter helps artists, musicians, filmmakers, designers, and other creators find the resources and support they need to make their ideas a reality. To date, tens of thousands of creative projects — big and small — have come to life with the support of the Kickstarter community.”

How Does Kickstarter Work?

Kickstarter is a website that provides entrepreneurs with a platform to spread their message, share their mission, and gain funding and support.  Anyone can access Kickstarter to make a pledge to projects they want to support. Kickstarter is often used by companies that are just starting out and want to gain brand awareness as well as funding.  

“Since our launch, on April 28, 2009, 15 million people have backed a project, $3.8 billion has been pledged, and 146,720 projects have been successfully funded.”
