( CNN ) -- Kickstarter campaigns have allowed people to fund diverse projects like video games , smartwatches and the restoration of historic locations . And now ? Make way for potato salad . Zack Brown of Columbus , Ohio , posted his Kickstarter project with a goal of $ 10 and a desire to make potato salad for the first time . As of Monday morning , more than 1,545 backers had pledged $ 11,000 for a chance to taste Brown 's creation . `` I am a somewhat risk-averse person , '' Brown told CNN . `` I like potato salad but had never made it before and was n't sure it would be any good . Kickstarter helps people to realize their dreams , so it seemed like a perfect fit . '' Kickstarter is an online donation site where people can pledge money toward a project and get rewards for doing so . Often , the final project is shared with the donors , along with extra benefits for reaching specific monetary goals . Brown 's stretch goals were blown through quickly , meaning he 'll be making different recipes . He 'll be using mayonnaise from the natural food section of his grocery store and consulting with a chef to make his potato salad better . Also ? He 'll host a potato-salad party in Columbus . Brown said he was blown away by the incredible generosity of backers for his somewhat random project . And he acknowledges a basic culinary truth : Since this is his first time , it might not be any good . `` It has always been my dream to do something that would connect people all over the world , '' Brown said . `` Did I think that would happen with potato salad ? No . But Kickstarter has made my dreams come true . '' One of the rewards for pledging $ 3 or more was to receive a bit of the potato salad . With the massive response , Brown knows he 's going to need some logistical help in pulling that off , but he 's undeterred . `` I could come to you . You could come to me , '' he wrote in response to a question on his Kickstarter page . `` Or maybe we could get a restaurant chain to make the recipe and offer free samples as a promotion . '' Brown 's exploits have garnered support from the United Kingdom , France , Romania and other countries outside the U.S . He 's working with a print designer to create a recipe book with one potato salad recipe inspired by each backer 's country . `` I 'm inviting the whole Internet to a party in Columbus , Ohio . I hope some people will bring potato salad or potato salad recipes . '' Brown hopes to start making his potato salad recipes some time after his Kickstarter closes in August . He wo n't reveal any details about his recipes other than that he will be using potatoes from his local grocery store , vinegar will be involved in one recipe , and there will be a vegan option available . The making of the potato salad will be recorded and put on the Internet since he plans on saying the name of every backer out loud while he cooks . If the number of backers continues to grow , he may end up losing his voice by the end .
