Kickstarter è la più grande piattaforma mondiale di crowdfunding per progetti creativi. Ogni settimana, decine di migliaia di persone straordinarie raccolgono milioni di dollari per progetti musicali, films, tecnologia, design, cibo, libri e altri campi creativi. 

In Italia, il crowdfunding muove i primi passi: l'ultimo decreto sviluppo del governo Monti prevede forme di incentivo per le imprese innovative mediante il crowdfunding (finanziamento dal basso), essenzialmente proveniente dal web.
