Time is valuable, and trust that I wouldn’t say this if I weren’t serious: This is a must-watch video.
Why? It isn’t every day you see Perry Chen speaking this candidly about Kickstarter’s ethos and history. Better yet, it isn’t every day you see Michael Eisner weighing in on the Kickstarter approach to producing films.
Perry Chen is CEO and co-founder of Kickstarter. He was recently at the Aspen Ideas Festival and was interviewed by Aspen Institute President and CEO Walter Isaacson. Of particular interest is Chen’s discussion of the importance of governance to Kickstarter, as well as an explanation of how projects are approved and how their process and approach changes over time.
