Crowd funding kick-starts local entrepreneurs' idea

Bookmark and Share

Fiction Kitchen used Kickstarter, a crowd-funding website, to raise $37,423 to equip what the owners say will be Raleigh’s only all-vegetarian restaurant.

Kickstarter, which raises money to finance creative projects, has helped fund more than 30,000 ventures, including more than 65 in Raleigh, and has attracted more than $360 million since its April 2009 launch, according to its website. Raleigh’s largest successful campaign listed on the site, a book titled “CreatureBox: The Monster Volume,” topped out at $175,620.
