Find your next customers in r/kickstarter
r/kickstarter covers crowdfunding strategy, backer communication, campaign post-mortems, and tool recommendations for creators running or planning a campaign.
Who buys here and why
Crowdfunding creators across hardware, games, publishing, and design who need help with campaign marketing, email collection, PR, and fulfillment. Many are spending real money on launch services and tools in the weeks before and during their campaign window. They make time-pressured purchasing decisions and respond well to clear ROI claims.
Creators ask for tool recommendations at specific moments in the campaign lifecycle: before launch when they are building their email list, during the campaign when they need PR and ad support, and after when they are managing fulfillment. These timing signals make it possible to reach the right buyer at exactly the right moment.

Frequently asked questions
Is r/kickstarter only for backers or also for creators?
Both. Backers discuss campaigns they are interested in, but a significant portion of the subreddit is creators sharing strategy, asking for advice, and reviewing what worked.
How do I find creators who need a marketing tool like mine?
Search for posts about building a pre-launch audience or getting press coverage. Creators actively shopping for those services post about the problem before they find a solution.
Are crowdfunding creators good leads for SaaS products?
Yes, particularly for email marketing, analytics, and fulfillment tools. They have a clear launch window and a budget for services that help them hit their funding goal.
Which phase of a campaign cycle produces the most tool-buying signals in r/kickstarter?
The two to three weeks before launch. Creators are actively assembling their stack for email collection, ads, and PR, and they post openly about what they still need to sort out.
