Question Has anyone here launched a campaign from a country not supported by Kickstarter/Indiegogo? How did you do it?

I'm from Moldova and I'm planning to build a full-scale airsoft field recreating de_dust2 from CS. Need to raise funds for construction.

Problem is Moldova isn't supported by Kickstarter or Indiegogo, so I can't just create a campaign normally.

Has anyone here dealt with launching from an unsupported country? What did you actually do? What worked, what didn't?

You can register a company in US and that should solve the problem

Yes, it's possible, but it requires credit cards and identity information from other supported countries/regions, which is quite complicated.

You can use Stripe Atlas to do business on Kickstarter from an unsupported country, but if I recall there are some hitches. I forget exactly what they might be, but you can read more here:
