HQ Function

Serves as the central hub for platform development, operations, product innovation, community engagement, and strategic decision-making for the global crowdfunding platform.

Notable Features:

Housed in a renovated former pencil factory (part of the historic Eberhard Faber Pencil Factory complex), featuring a light-filled glass-enclosed central courtyard, a library, a 74-seat theater, gallery spaces, and open-plan workspaces designed to foster creativity and collaboration. The design emphasizes natural light and sustainable elements.

Work Culture:

Mission-driven, creative, collaborative, and inclusive, reflecting its Public Benefit Corporation status. There's a strong emphasis on supporting artistic and innovative endeavors, fostering a positive impact, and valuing work-life balance. The environment is designed to inspire employees and visitors alike.

HQ Significance:

The primary physical embodiment of Kickstarter's mission and values. It's where the core team develops and manages the platform that connects millions of creators and backers worldwide, and serves as a cultural hub for the company.

Values Reflected in HQ: The HQ design reflects values of creativity (flexible, inspiring spaces), community (communal areas like the courtyard and theater), transparency (glass elements), sustainability (use of reclaimed materials, natural light), and a deep appreciation for arts and innovation.
