What does Kibidango offer ?

Offer for Backers:

  • Back gadget, product, and creative projects (electronics, outdoor gear, games, music, and more) in exchange for the item or reward the creator sets.
  • Kibidango Circle offers ongoing pre-order-style restocks of past successful projects after their campaigns end, and Kibidango Store sells finished products from past campaigns directly.
  • Funding is All-or-Nothing; some payment methods (e.g. Paidy) only charge backers once a project succeeds, so nothing is charged upfront on projects that don’t reach their goal.

Offer for Fundraisers:

  • Kibidango advertises an 80% project success rate and describes its fee as the lowest among Japan’s major platforms.
  • The platform doubles as an e-commerce channel: successful projects can keep selling through Kibidango Store and Kibidango Circle after the campaign ends.
  • Its largest single project to date (ViXion01, an autofocus eyewear device) raised ≈¥425 million — one of the largest reward-crowdfunding results on record in Japan.
