Kickcheater is a crowdfunding company. Its name is a portmanteau of Kickstarter and kicking The Cheat, and its logo similarly is evocative of Strong Bad kicking The Cheat.
Occasionally portrayed as a fictional platform in the Homestar Runner universe, the name and logo are most regularly used in conjunction with the real-world Trogdor!! The Board Game as a substitute term for "Kickstarter".
