Outside the US?
Now you can use Kickstarter!

PRESS RELEASE

May 9, 2012

We have learned that our Revenue Collection Services - which provide individuals outside of the US with the ability to use Kickstarter - have, effectively, been shut down. Amazon Payments sent notice that Bridgestarter's accounts have been suspended. We are currently trying to rectify the situation with Amazon Payments and hope for a speedy resolution. In the meantime, we have refunded all fees paid by our customers and have issued letters of explanation and apology.

In spite of this setback, we remain committed to helping entrepreneurs raise money for their projects:

Both our Professional and Distribution services remain available to those wishing to launch projects on other crowdfunding sites (i.e. indiegogo.com, rockethub.com, etc.);
In the coming weeks, Bridgestarter.com will be redeveloped to enable entrepreneurs to promote their projects on the site for free; and
We are watching the CROWDFUND Act legislation in the United States, as there may be an opportunity to use Bridgestarter as either a vehicle for crowdfunding or as an investment fund.

We hope to resolve the situation with Amazon Payments and enable the world to access Kickstarter once again. This is because Kickstarter remains the deepest market for the funding of creative projects in the world. The founders of the site were innovators, just like Bridgestarter's customers. They inspired the world to create and support creators in a way no one else had ever imagined. This is an example of financial innovation that has come from the people and not from banks or governments. Everyone deserves access to the benefits and freedoms this offers.

Please reach us with any questions at info@imaginationunleashed.ca.

Founder of Bridgestarter.com
