Over the years, Kickstarter has helped fund an impressive number of projects from a diverse variety of fields: films, video games, journalism, the food industry, comics, music, and so on. The concept is very easy: someone comes up with a project idea, chooses a deadline, and a funding goal. People then donate money to the project, in return for a tangible reward, other than financial profit. If the funding goal is not reached within the deadline imposed by the project creator, the funds are not collected.
