Tieg Zaharia

Queens, New York · First project backed: Edgewater - A dark and sexy comic book

Tieg is an engineer at Kickstarter, but he might be better known as one of a few people who have backed over 1,000 projects. He backed his first project in December 2009. Six months later he tweeted this, which is how we ended up meeting him. When Tieg isn’t busy writing Ruby and backing projects, he’s curating what we affectionately call the Tieg Film Fest, a weekly screening series in the office where Tieg shows films he’s backed.

“It's a cool way to remind everyone what we're doing and the results of these projects.”
