Kickstarter HQ. A hub of creative dreams and innovative ideas. We stand before a building that once buzzed with the energy of a company dedicated to bringing artistic projects to life. Kickstarter HQ, formerly located within these walls at 58 Kent Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, played a significant role in the crowdfunding world. Established in 2009 by Perry Chen, Yancey Strickler, and Charles Adler, Kickstarter quickly became a global phenomenon. The New York Times even dubbed it “the people’s NEA.” Kickstarter HQ served as the central nervous system for this innovative platform. Millions of dollars flowed through this building, connecting creators with backers who believed in their visions. From films and music to technology and games, Kickstarter HQ witnessed the birth of countless projects. The company itself wasn’t immune to challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic forced Kickstarter to embrace a fully remote work policy in 2020, leaving this building vacant. Kickstarter HQ, a place once brimming with activity, became a silent testament to the changing times. Yet, its legacy remains. Kickstarter, even without a physical headquarters, continues to empower creators and fuel creative endeavors worldwide. The building at 58 Kent Street stands as a reminder of Kickstarter’s impactful presence in Brooklyn and its ongoing mission to “help bring creative projects to life.” The energy may have shifted, but the spirit of Kickstarter persists.
