Introducing Kickstarter's New Partner Program
A new way to find trusted partners to help you launch, deliver, and grow on Kickstarter.
Tools and support for creators at every stage
Launching a successful Kickstarter campaign takes more than a great idea. It takes planning, perspective, and often, the right kind of support — across every phase of a project, from shaping campaign strategy and marketing to managing manufacturing, production, fulfillment, and logistics after launch.
Many creators work with experienced agencies, consultants, and specialists to help design their products, tell compelling stories, reach the right audience, and ultimately deliver rewards to backers.
To better support creators at every stage of their journey, we’re introducing the Kickstarter Partner Program, a curated network of trusted partners offering expertise in campaign strategy, marketing and promotion, manufacturing and production, fulfillment and logistics, and product design.
The program builds on our existing partner ecosystem, providing expanded visibility, clearer signals of experience, and a more structured way for creators to find trusted support, from pre-launch planning through post-campaign delivery.

Why this matters for creators
As the Kickstarter ecosystem has grown, so has the range of expertise creators draw on to bring their projects to life. From early campaign planning and marketing to production, fulfillment, and post-launch growth, the right partner can make a meaningful difference.
The Partner Program is designed to make it easier for creators to find experienced, proven partners and to move forward with confidence, knowing those partners understand what it takes to succeed on Kickstarter.
Partners already support a significant number of campaigns across categories and stages. By formalizing this program, we’re helping creators more easily discover trusted support that aligns with their goals, budget, and creative vision.
What you’ll find in the Partner Directory
The Partner Directory features approved partners with deep experience supporting creators on Kickstarter, spanning agencies, consultants, and solo experts, production studios, fulfillment companies, and platforms and marketplaces.
Each Partner listing includes details about areas of expertise, the types of creators they typically work with, location, and more, making it easier to filter options and find the right partner for your project.
The program recognizes Partners with proven track records of supporting successful campaigns and positive creator experiences and outcomes. Within this group, Premier Partners are distinguished by the breadth and scale of their work across Kickstarter, supporting large portfolios of projects across diverse categories.

Whether you’re planning your first project or preparing for a larger, more complex launch, the Partner Directory is the starting point for finding support that fits your needs at every stage of your campaign.
