5 Lessons From The 5 Biggest Kickstarters

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Kickstarter turned eight-years-old today, so I thought it might be interesting to look at the Kickstarter campaigns that generated the most money to see what entrepreneurs can learn from the experience.

Leaving out projects that received funding from elsewhere, the Kickstarter campaigns that raised the most money are:

  1. Pebble ($10,266,845 and $20,338,986)
  2. Coolest Cooler ($13,285,226)
  3. Exploding Kittens ($8,782,571)
  4. Ouya ($8,596,474)
  5. Pono ($6,225,354)

How did these venture fare? Pebble, a manufacturer of smart-watches, went bankrupt. The game console Ouya experienced lackluster sales and was discontinued. The Pono, a digital media service and accompanying player, has apparently ceased operations.
