Y Combinator-Backed Crowdtilt Launches To Become The “Kickstarter For Any Group”

It's not about what we're doing so much as who we're doing it with that makes our experiences enjoyable. Group messaging took off two years ago, overrunning SXSW, as a better way to keep groups of people engaged; Kickstarter has grown like a week thanks to the power of the crowd lending legs to fledgling projects that need quick capital to get off the ground.
