Kicksonar

Kickstarter Crowdfunding Intelligence

Kicksonar is named after sonar — just as sonar detects objects underwater through sound waves, Kicksonar detects patterns and opportunities inside Kickstarter's crowdfunding ecosystem. It helps creators, investors, and researchers surface insights from campaign data: which categories succeed most, which periods are best for launching, and which regions drive the most backers.

Our (Very Small) Ambition

Kicksonar has a very small ambition. Embarrassingly small, honestly: to genuinely serve 100 people.

Not 100,000. Not 1 million. Just 100 humans who actually find this useful. We're starting with 5, then 10, then 50 — slow and intentional, like a Kickstarter campaign that actually knows its audience.

We built the shovel. What you dig for is up to you.

Whether you're a solo creator shipping your first product, a scrappy studio, a founder trying to prove the market exists, or a brand's marketing team doing competitive research — if Kickstarter is on your radar, Kicksonar was built for you.
