Hi, I am looking for a partner for my company, a reliable person who is an American citizen for the launch of a new board game on kickstarter. The game is ready at 90% and has already been advertised.
The Partner will not have to put money. All part of the development has been funded by me.
My company operates in the field of the scale model for years, and is now entering the market of board games.
thx
What do you need from the partner?
This sounds like one of those "to good to be true, so it probably is" scenarios. Kind of like an email from a Nigerian prince. So, if this is real you may want to be more elaborate. What does the partner get out of the deal? What do you get from the partner? Why do they have to be American? What is the game?
I might be wrong but doesn't Kickstarter only allow projects with US or Canadian roots....that could be what the partner provides the legal ability to be the crowdsourcing party.
That is very likely the case, but there are certainly crowdsourcing options that do not require US citizenship.
More information about the partner's role and the game might be beneficial.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Hardly, people in Australia, New Zealand, several Scandinavian countries, The UK and the Netherlands can also make projects (I probably forgot a few countries).
Still, no matter where the roots are, if the OP asked for an American specifically, they want a project in US dollars, so that person would be at least partially responsible for the money side of things as the OP wouldn't be able to collect without a US bank account.
Can you tell us about the game?
As a designer, my name is my brand. Even if I'm not the designer of the game, if I was to partner with you my name, and therefore my brand, would be attached to the game. That is something I am personally very careful about.

Hi everybody, this is the right one.
Kickstarter = board game.
The reason why i need a Us partner is because this is the only way i can run a Us dollars campaign. I already have a UK company, but i can run campaign only in £.
As you can see, big company like Mantic Games, are in UK, but they run the campaign in Us dollar. Guilliotine game is in france, but they run campaign with coolminiornot. Us dollar campaign works better.
I've spend more than 1 years on the game, and of course i have invested many money too. I want to do the things in the most right way as possible.
For me, to have a UK partner or a US partner is the same in terms of "money"! i mean, i have to give percentage to my partner. So for the campaign it is better to have a US partner.
No prince from africa here :)
I don't ask for money, i will cover all the costs for everything.
Of course i have to trust my partner, and of course, find him in internet is not a really good idea.
That's why i choose this site, i hope to find a person who really love board game, becouse passion is the first thing!
The tasks of the partner are: Build the company with me, i mean handle all the step to build it. English is not my language, as you can see :), so i need help also on it, expecially during the campagin. As you know thousand of comments will be posted, and we have to take care of them. If some of you is interested and have other question i will be glad to answer. thx everybody
