Kick off: Kickstarter now open to creator submissions from Singapore

Goals can now be set in SGD.

Crowdfunding is now closer to Singaporeans’ reach as famous crowdfunding firm Kickstarter opens its doors to creators from Singapore.

According to a release by Kickstarter, backers around the world will see more creative and innovative projects emerge from the city state.

“Local backers will be able to take advantage of experiential rewards like attending a film screening or going to the opening night of a new restaurant,” the blog entry said.

Meanwhile, creators can also set their funding goals in SGD, as well as set up their accounts using local banking and business details.

“When projects are successfully funded, pledges will be collected in HKD and SGD. Similar to any project not listed in U.S. dollars, when looking at project pages, backers based in the U.S. will see the project’s goal displayed in USD. They'll also see reward tiers listed in U.S. dollars, with the HKD and SGD alongside,” it added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
