Does anyone stop you from starting another kickstarter with a lower, equal or higher pledge goal for the very same project when one kickstarter funding has already been successful?

Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

@Superku - KS says on there page that you are allowed to 'repost' if you fail. It's in one of the links I posted - I think the rules one or it's in the FAQ that I didn't post.

EDIT - Old_Bill very helpful thank you.

Yes, even years later, Pay Pal is still the Bogie in 'trust' payments.
"I trust you to provide the service you offer and you betray that trust...repeatedly' is what I could garner from many years of following Pay Pals antics.

Luckily I myself haven't had an issue with the service but I use it only when I have to, e.g. when a provider of a software uses them exclusively and I want the software or product.

But still, if a company wants to cut its own throat, that's their business isn't it?

There are a few other Crowd Funding sites around and quite frankly, your own country may have something similar going on that may not be touted as readily as KickStarter.

A Google search for 'Crowd Finding' should bring back a few results.

I did like Nems said and grabbed this for Forbes because I figure they are reputable in there way and do focus on business news.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/chancebarnett/2013/05/08/top-10-crowdfunding-sites-for-fundraising/

I didn't check the globe/local restriction for the listed sites, sorry. I know there are a lot of people here that would like this sort of funding in there local area but good old google tends only to find me US sites and news.

The crowd investment thing sound really promising also.

Edit - http://www.indiegogo.com/ indiegogo.com calls itself international and its front page says

Thanks Malice, but I asked if they forbid me to post it again if it not fails/ is successful? Otherwise I could simply try to collect more and more money in smaller steps.

I guess that is why they added "if unsuccessful/failed" to the conditions...

Then show me where it's stated that multiple Kickstarters for the same project are not allowed. Just checked the FAQ, does not look like it.

Ok, "not allowed" indeed is not stated, they use "rarely permitted" instead.

Quote:

Can I run more than one project at once?

We rarely permit running multiple projects at the same time, or launching a second project before fulfilling your first one. Having multiple live projects can confuse backers and split support. Running a project is a lot of work, and more than one live project will likely dilute your attention and energy. There may be exceptions out there, but that’s generally how it works. If you're a first-time creator and have multiple project ideas, we recommend selecting the one that's most developed and trying that first.

(Assuming that each single Kickstarter entry is considered being a "project").

Actually that doesn't rule out what Superku is saying. @Superku I'm going to guess for a example that you would like to split a project into smaller pieces and fund raise for each piece.

Like
Run a kickstarter to raise money to make x-game's first 5 levels -> if successful -> run a new one to get the money for the next 5 levels. -> repeat till finished.
[I assume ->
This seems fine as long as they are done in consecutively not concurrently. But I would say to make the pieces as large as possible. Or just keep re-launching the campaign. <- ]

EDIT-> I'm going to email them for a clear answer. I very much would like to know this as well.
EDIT2-> An email has been sent to support and an answer is expected within the next week(or 2 business days as-per volume of current support emails in cue)

But you might have meant for example Sukerku World game and Superku RPG game. In which case these are 2 different projects but like Firoball says you can only raise for one at a time.
