That is a shockingly high success rate. It seems like 75% when I would have guessed 20%

- DuoSRX 14y agoThe success rate is actually 44%. You can find the stats directly on Kickstarter. http://www.kickstarter.com/help/stats http://www.kickstarter.com/help/stats
- Eduardo3rd 14y agoSame here. I'm wondering if this is maybe an incomplete list. There have to be more than three failed open source hardware projects out there.
- misener 14y agoIt's an incomplete list. TKBM has only been tracking projects that ended since mid-June 2012. According to my numbers, since mid-June 2012, the overall success rate for all projects in all categories has been ~72%. Much higher than Kickstarter's all-time success rate of ~44%.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoI've been suspecting their success rate might go up as more people become comfortable with the idea. A lot of small projects should be very do-able if their community is familiar with kickstarter.
