Congratulations Kickstarter employees for forming the first tech Union.

They succeeded in unionizing even after management fired two of the Union organizers. Which companies do you think will be next to unionize? https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/kickstarter-workers-vote-form-first-union-tech-industry-n1138006 #union #unionize

Any Kickstarter projects you totally recommend?

I heard of a blanket that weighs 100lbs which supposedly helps you get better sleep... but I can't spend 200 bucks on a fcking blanket. EDIT: 25lbs* not 100 Recommendations of useful/cool/life enhancing would be much appreciated :)

Anyone have experience working at Kickstarter or Warby Parker?

Curious about engineering at these companies. They seem very interesting but Glassdoor has some alarming negative reviews. Anyone have personal experience or have friends who do?

Anyone who has recently gone through the Interview Kickstarter program.

I saw this thing on a blind ad and decided to attend the webinar since it’s free. I have 0 YOE and will be graduating soon so I’m going to start interview prepping and thought I’d check this company out. The webinar felt very “sales pitch-esque” and overall my initial thoughts were that I wouldn’t

Hi, I am currently on a L-1B visa and might move to H-1B soon. Noticed that we are not allowed to work for another employer but I am wondering would Kickstarter be an issue as well? I am thinking about launching a project on Kickstarter, but when the project is getting backed (i.e. raising money),
