Kickstarter Opens to Creators in
Asia for the First Time
Beginning today, Hong Kong and Singapore can now bring creative projects to life with the support of the Kickstarter community locally.
Kickstarter, the world’s largest funding community for creative projects, launches in Asia today, officially extending its service to creators in both Hong Kong and Singapore for the first time. Kickstarter introduced crowdfunding to a new generation of creators — from filmmakers, musicians, and authors, to artists, designers, game developers, and beyond, who use it to fund and build communities of support around projects across the creative universe.
“Kickstarter has empowered millions of people to be part of the development and production of new creative works,” says CEO and Co-Founder, Yancey Strickler. “As one of the most exciting regions for emerging creative culture and innovation, we’re thrilled to begin to support creators in Asia.”
