Ten campaigns in, and we've never introduced ourselves…

Hi, we're Upside Go!

A *lot* of magic has to happen before Kickstarter rewards reach the backers who made them possible in the first place. Your favorite creators have the same 24 hours in a day to juggle their usual routine WITH a Kickstarter, and that’s where we come in!

We partner with authors and companies to make premium products for their crowdfunding campaigns and offer support for every aspect of the process—from product and graphic design to fulfillment and more! We love to work on anything fans cherish, but specialize in special edition books. We have worked on your favorite LitRPGs, comics, art books, and Dragonzords! (Err… that last one isn’t a book, but it’s cool!)

You might have seen our work in Kickstarter campaigns for Matt Dinniman, Devin Elle Kurtz, Nathan Pyle, Mary Robinette Kowal, Katie Cook, Zachary Weinersmith, Charles Soule, Playmates Toys, and Travis Deverell / Shirtaloon.
Swipe to see all the campaigns we’ve launched since 2023, including the 10th, which just went live today!

Looking for someone to help me here in LA. If you know anyone who likes books, is open to reading across genres and formats, is interested in changing the publishing landscape, and can handle a relatively disorganized boss who is becoming increasingly a Luddite… send them my way. https://www.thegernertco.com/jobs by @sethasfishman
