Kickstarter is the first online funding platform for creative projects and is powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully-funded or no money changes hands. Co-founder Yancey Strickler will represent Kickstarter in our online Q&A. His writing has appeared in New York Magazine, Pitchfork, Spin, and the Village Voice, among other publications. He lives in Brooklyn.
