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.
