People putting themselves out there, even if it's not quite there, is still something worth encouraging IMHO. It's hard to get a single person to care. The Creative Fund now is a group of folks want to see people take the leap an

You would be surprised at some of the messages we get. Actually heartfelt responses of folks saying that getting this first pledge pushed them over the edge to push harder. I'm excited that if we get to a point where the funds might b

$1 can be an inspiring start that gets folks to promote their project and get up and get going. It is a bit more about the principle, like a high five to get up and get going. Also part of the experiment is the Patreon. Every $1,000 we ma

What we are trying to do is focus a bit more on building a model that is based on how projects have done in the past. Our model learns from each completed project, and helps create better predictions. I am no Kicktraq expert, but I think th
