FreightAmigo Partners with Kickstarter: Revolutionizing Shipping for Crowdfunding Campaigns

A Game-Changing Partnership for Creators and Entrepreneurs

We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Kickstarter, the world-renowned crowdfunding platform that has been bringing creative projects to life since 2009. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to transform the logistics experience for businesses and individuals alike.

Kickstarter has become synonymous with innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit. It has been the launchpad for countless successful projects across various categories, including technology, film, food, games, fashion, and many more. Now, with FreightAmigo's digital logistics solutions, Kickstarter creators will have access to a suite of powerful tools to streamline their shipping processes and expand their global reach.

Why Kickstarter Matters in the World of Crowdfunding

Since its inception in 2009, Kickstarter has been at the forefront of the crowdfunding revolution. Here are some impressive statistics that showcase Kickstarter's impact:

• Over 230,000 creative projects successfully funded
• A staggering $7 billion in pledges raised for Kickstarter projects
• Numerous projects have gone on to win prestigious awards, including Grammys and Oscars
• Many Kickstarter-funded products have become household names

The platform's success is driven by its passionate team of artists, writers, designers, and developers who are dedicated to fostering a vibrant community around creative projects. This commitment to creativity and innovation aligns perfectly with FreightAmigo's vision of redefining the logistics experience.

The Synergy Between FreightAmigo and Kickstarter

Our partnership with Kickstarter is designed to address one of the most challenging aspects of crowdfunding campaigns: shipping. Many creators underestimate the complexity and cost of fulfilling their backers' rewards, especially when it comes to international shipping. This is where FreightAmigo's expertise comes into play.

Elena, the Senior Product Manager at Kickstarter, highlights the value of our Digital Logistics Platform:

"FreightAmigo is a shipping platform that greatly simplifies the process of managing and coordinating shipping anywhere in the world. Anyone who has run a Kickstarter project knows how complex shipping can be. Plus, the cost of shipping can require up to 20% of a campaign's budget. FreightAmigo offers access to discounted shipping rates, as well as tools that help you budget for shipping, compare courier rates, calculate tax and duty costs, automatically prepare customs paperwork, create labels, send tracking information to backers, and track shipments—all through a single dashboard."
