Ask HN: What do you call people that do Kickstarters?
I just found out that Kickstarter calls people that list projects on their platform creatives. But I don't think that's an apt word because you also call online video content creators creatives as well. I think there is a distinction between the two. I would consider Kickstarter creatives lean more towards the startup side than video content. They produce physical and/or digital goods that can be sold.
What word should I use to describe these people?
- vivegi 5y agoI think the term Creative is apt. Those listing projects on Kickstarter are innovative, enterprising and working towards getting their idea into reality. They are entrepreneurial and have chosen a crowdfunded way to get their idea off the ground. Creative is broad in the sense of the term.
