We’re in the process of evaluating a number of tools to employ for our upcoming HI 2059 project, and Kickstarter is at the forefront. Recently caught this post on their blog, which compares recent project funding data to an essay by Kevin Kelly entitled 1,000 True Fans.
What the people at Kickstarter have found is this: To date, if a project manages to get to 25% of its funding goal, it has a 94% success rate. That is an amazing (and encouraging) statistic.
