Very smart for Etsy to get into crowdfunding. I'm curious to see how they converge with Kickstarter/Indiegogo/Tilt longer term.
As a tangent, I feel that Etsy could do a better job at building community and interaction between makers and consumers. IMHO there's a big opportunity in "humanizing" the traditionally sterile and transactions side of ecommerce β¦Β See more

If anyone can compete with Kickstarter, it's Etsy. They just launched a pilot program to help sellers raise money to grow their businesses and create new products.

Brilliant idea for small shops selling handmade products. Great work, Etsy.

I have friends that sell on Etsy so I imagine this would be quite useful for them. It's a shame it's not launched in the UK, though.
