Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter have redefined the relationship between creators and fans, enabling them to sit side by side to jointly shape the creative process. Fans now have the power to meaningfully contribute to bringing creative projects to life, from supporting ideas in their earliest stages and providing funds to communicating directly with creators and guiding the project's direction. This panel brings Kickstarter’s head of comics Bryce Gold together with some of the platform’s leading creators—Chris Robinson, Madeline Holy-Rosing, and Ray Chou—to discuss how crowdfunding enables creators and fans to converge and collaborate.
