We see Starterpals as a home for creative minds and a wonderful platform; where people who believe, respect, and see the vision can support an idea and make it a reality.

How much work is it to run a project?
Every Starterpals project has its share of work—including preparation and promotion—but the amount of work generally depends on the size and complexity of your project.
