This year, the filmmaker Charlie Kaufman and TV auteur Dan Harmon, frustrated with the creative constrictions inherent to working with studios, turned to Kickstarter to fund their latest project. Its successes include the $10 million raised for the Pebble watch, which connects owners’ smartphones with a wristwatch $8.5 million raised for Ouya, a video-game console and nearly $300,000 raised for Flint and Tinder, American-made men’s underwear. Kickstarter is now on track to funnel out nearly twice as much money as the National Endowment for the Arts almost $1 million is pledged on the site each day, according to a spokesman. The pinup girl for the movement-adored by the tech community, starving artists in Bushwick, and cubicle-dwellers with spare cash who want to be part of something more interesting than pushing endless Excel files-is Kickstarter, the three-year-old website that has done crowdfunding better than anyone else. Crowdfunding, as it’s called, allows would-be artists or entrepreneurs to put out a plea for seed money only if their goal amount is raised do they actually get the cash in hand. ONE OF THE few bright spots on the blighted economic landscape of the past few years has been the emergence of a new, efficient method for the procurement of capital.
