Η service Kickstarter is known worldwide as a way to support creative ideas. The service helps anyone with a smart idea find funding.
The idea can be something very simple, as for example, someone last year managed to collect 70.000 dollars from more than 5.000 people who wished to support his idea of making and distributing a homemade potato salad.
There are many others who followed his footsteps in an effort to raise money and make their ideas come true. As we mentioned above, ideas may be smart maybe and not.
Another example in which you will have to judge if the idea is clever is the case of a man who launched a fundraising campaign to buy…. Kickstarter. Το Mashable αναφέρει ότι ο Aaron Schlechter αναζητεί 1.2 δισεκατομμύρια δολάρια για να αγοράσει την company.
His original design was completely different. The man in simple words was looking for funding to baptize the dogs of those concerned. He also mentioned that he would write a book about it. (!)
All was going well, and the expert dog-namer had managed to earn some money, until one day, he received a warning από το Kickstarter, που του ανέφερε ότι το “project” του παραβιάσει τους conditions use of the service.
He was so outraged by the thought that he would have to abandon his plan, which he decided to fight back. And what is the best way to get his blood back? He can make the terms of the service himself. So he decided to buy the Kickstarter.
He is currently trying to persuade the world to support his goal, promising that if he can raise money, he will completely change the rules, and so campaigns for dog names will be allowed on the website.
