In 2013, Frederator created a Kickstarter Campaign to fund the Bee and PuppyCat series.
History[]
The Kickstarter was started October 15, 2013, and achieved its $600,000 goal 6 days before the deadline. The minimum goal was to raise enough to create six 6-minute episodes, with any extra funding used to create additional episodes. By the end, they had raised $872,133, earning nine 6-minute episodes. At the time, this was the most successful web-series funded on Kickstarter[1]. The first episode will air in the summer of 2014.[2]
Rewards[]
Backers pledged between $15 and $10,000. They received varying rewards including access to a special Bee and PuppyCat blog, T-shirts, and a copy of the comic with a Kickstarter exclusive alternative cover.
