Kickstarter

Kickstarter is an American website set up as a hub for crowd-funding projects. Users post their projects for a set period of time, and other users can pledge money to the project which is collected if the project's funding goal is reached. If more money is raised, projects may add additional 'Stretch Goals' which add additional content if a higher funding goal is reached.

Onyx Path Publishing has used Kickstarter in the past as a means to fund traditionally printed versions of their books, which would otherwise be only available in PDF and Print-on-Demand formats.
