Kickstarter opens in Australia and New Zealand
Crowdsourcing website Kickstarter has announced today that it will launch in Australia and New Zealand next month.
Projects can be initiated ahead of the November launch
Projects can be started online ahead of the launch from today, and workshops will be held in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland to ‘walkthrough’ the process of building a project.
“Beginning today (like, right now!), people in Australia and New Zealand can start building their projects by clicking on the "Start a project" button on the Start page,” Kickstarter announced.
“Beginning Wednesday November 13, people in those countries will be able to launch their projects.”
The blog posting added: “We thought the month-long gap would give everyone plenty of time to build and tweak their projects before launching. Beginning November 13, they can launch and share their projects with the world.
“Just as with every other project on Kickstarter, backers can pledge to Australia- and New Zealand-based projects from all around the world.”
