Kickstarter is great for growth for an early/mid career designer, but growth beyond senior level is pretty undefined. Fantastic co-workers, great WLB. Kickstarter is a Public Benefit Corp which is great in terms of staying focused on mission, but is also frequently cited by management as the reason for small headcount and low comp. ICs are unionized. Hopeful that the 4 day work week pilot becomes permanent.
Consistent lack of resources on eng and product make it difficult to move quickly. Inconsistent management. Frequent changes to company strategy can make it difficult to understand where the company is headed long term. Equity is in options not RSUs as Kickstarter is a PBC, liquidity events are infrequent.
Greg Spero’s PITCH reverses the crowd-funding dynamic by allowing an artist’s fans and supporters to solicit new work or projects.
A crowdfunding campaign for a new audio freediving and spearfishing dive computer and music player is now underway.
