The problem this project attempts to fix is based on a whole lot of correct assumptions, IMO. 2013 is going to be the year crowd-funding really takes off and creep up on a lot of consumer facing industries. And so it follows a lot of the creators are going to be surprised themselves about the very real problem of fulfillment. Basically, fulfillment and inexperience is always a bad combo. Looking forward to see how Backer Kit attacks this problem.

Logistics are a big problem for crowdfunding, especially first-timers, and Kickstarter isn't keen to step in. Pebble actually developed their own backer-facing website to deal with it. For campaigns without those resources, like our own, this takes care of logistical issues and lets us focus on product. Incredibly valuable.

Very Very good idea for a service. I could see your partnering with fulfillment companies, and integrating with their API ("T-shirts for users 1-2000 are in the mail")<p>Is there any way to get into this without an active KS? I'd like to poke around, but I don't have a KS running at the moment.<p>When is the expected launch? What's the pricing? ;)

Would love to see what some of the current Kickstarter project have to say about the service. Nothing validates project better than excited users :)

Works for more than Kickstarter I assume? I'm not in the US, as are many other HN readers.
