Third-party Kickstarter fulfillment service
A warehouse-based service that receives, stores, packs and ships Kickstarter and other crowdfunded rewards on behalf of campaign creators, charging per order.
The idea, in plain language
A warehouse-based service that receives, stores, packs and ships Kickstarter and other crowdfunded rewards on behalf of campaign creators, charging per order. The customer is crowdfunded creators who do not want to run their own logistics; revenue is per-order fulfillment fees. Startup cost is high because it requires physical warehouse space, staff, and shipping supplies; the featured founders handled 3,000 orders for a single Kickstarter project in their first month. Skills needed are logistics, warehousing and operations rather than software.
Where the sources agree
- Physical warehouse plus staffing is the core of the model.
- First-month scale was 3,000 orders for a single Kickstarter project.
- Started by college friends learning logistics on the job.
