I do wonder what impact a failed Kickstarter has for venture funded projects like Pixate. Does it kill any chance of future funding by proving that customers aren't that willing to pay? I ran a Kickstarter for OpenPhoto. But it had a few unique properties, mainly being open source. We raised a modest $25k which paid for my time since I already quit my job to do this. So, I needed the funds to complete the work. I'm considering running a second Kickstarter for a set of large features to the product. Thankfully, I'm not in a position where I need VC funds so shooting myself in the foot there doesn't matter. Also, I'd be Kickstarting for features that aren't already planned in the main roadmap (which I'm going to rely on for revenue). If the Kickstarter fails then those features don't get added in but the product still remains viable without losing face. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jmathai/openphoto-a-photo-service-for-your-s3-or-dropbox-a http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jmathai/openphoto-a-phot...
