Kickstarter is on everyone's lips these days, and no wonder. It began as a service with a goal is not entirely clear, but now, there you can find ideas that tempt users and encourage them to invest in future products, moving millions of dollars in the process. Some of these ideas have already been through ItsAnews before, but the common element in the projects you see here is that they have managed to surpass the million-dollar mark, or have flirted closely with that amount.

In recent times, virtually any project that does not find a place in the market, a remake that is not adopted by any producer of video games, daring or idea that can not overcome the "risk threshold" of investors, Kickstarter ends. Now, the truth is that there is no such thing as a guarantee to publish something in Kickstarter. Persons responsible for the site frequently updated their statistics, which indicate that the percentage of "success" in the projects just over 44 percent, and in his four years, the projects that were funded successfully reached some $ 252 million . In other words, who has an idea to redirect the effort to convince investors to convince potential customers.

I prefer to identify Kickstarter with the term "collaborative investment." The user / customer / user is no longer a sponsor, and reward, rather than a specific monetary interest, is the privileged access to a product / service, which can be obtained several times below the planned cost. Who organizes a project knows that's not enough, and that's where the rewards come over. Trips, parties and private meetings with the creators of the project are some of the things that are given to those who demonstrate a greater financial commitment. In some cases, this commitment has been outstanding. The million dollars is presented as "magic barrier" for many reasons, and Kickstarter is no exception. Some projects were very, very close to the million, while others went over like a stampede. Today we will take a look at some of those who have been economically more relevant so far.



Pebble: $ 10,266,846

Oddly enough, the most successful project in the history of Kickstarter is a clock, but not just any clock. The Pebble is a "smart clock" that its capacity has the function to connect to devices via Bluetooth Android or IOS, and run applications. It can also be customized, and even used as a remote control to control various functions of a smartphone. $ 99 was the minimum that enabled access to a pebble on an estimated price of $ 150. The demand was so great, that should limit the pre-sale orders. The first deliveries will be in September.



TikTok + Lunatika: $ 942.578

No, Ke $ ha thankfully has nothing to do with it. The latest generation iPod Nano is priced at $ 129 U.S. (125 euros in Spain). It has incorporated a significant amount of features compared with previous models, but someone felt he could do even more, and that someone was responsible for the TikTok and Lunatika. Convert the sixth generation iPod Nano into a watch may not be as attractive to the naked eye, but more than $ 940,000 said the opposite. Both products are already on sale, and the developer has created two variants, in addition to funding another project in Kickstarter: A stylus tablet that doubles as a pen.
