Woman-Owned, Multicultural Streaming App, Kuukaari, Begins Indiegogo Crowdsourcing

As streaming video subscriptions become the "new normal" for global entertainment, Kuukaari plans to change the character of what we view on our home and mobile screens. The world is not uniform, and neither should the content we consume; therefore, the platform plans to become the first place for relatable content by people of color, for everyone to enjoy. Join Kuukaari, as they garner donations beginning July 17, 2019, on the ground floor as the startup plans to launch ethnic storytellers and their viewpoints while providing opportunities for people of color in the global entertainment industry. The new service will enable the discovery of emerging talents from around the world, with a global viewership, instead of just selected continents that meet the bottom line.

"Our selection of content will reflect the real world," says CEO Cecilia Boettcher. "We are committed to sourcing from creators who otherwise wouldn't have exposure or vehicles to showcase their work. Our vision for Kuukaari is to be the destination platform for diverse content by people of color in order to elevate their exposure to new audiences."

The $200,000 fundraising goal for the Indiegogo campaign will provide the capital needed by the start-up to create an infrastructure for all app screening options including desktop and mobile devices. Additional allocation of funds will be used for negotiating legal contracts with content providers, capital expenses, API integration, CRM, marketing, and advertising. There will be three-tiers to the service upon launch, which will allow users to decide the best access and entertainment for them.

• Basic: $4.99 - One device
• Gold: $8.99 - Two devices
• Platinum: $12.99 - Three devices with additional benefits including but not limited to behind the scenes videos, directors' cuts, commentary, and entry into contests.
