The History of Kickstarter

It took just three guys in a Brooklyn Diner to show that citizens of the web, as compared to those of the rest of the world, are more forward-looking, more generous and more open than we could ever have imagined. They have shown us that millions of people are ready; ready to put their hands in their pockets to make small and not-so-small contributions to creativity in the world, even if there is no economic return. From the tables of a Brooklyn Diner to $6 billion in funds raised. This is the story of three guys who, while developing a crowdfunding idea, actually invented a new model of doing business.
