My thoughts were exactly the same. In mere 8 hours yesterday they went up by more than $100k. Is there any sorts of stats on Kickstarter to see which sizes of pledges were contributed during a given period of time? Seems a little dodgy to me - could they actually fund the rest of the campaign out of their own pocket(they have a 2.5M investement after all)? But anyway I already pledged $120 myself to get the board, they guys seem trustworthy.
Update: The links below reveal services for tracking campaign so I will investigate: http://www.kicktraq.com/ http://www.kicktraq.com/ and http://canhekick.it/project/5064d31d8f647c24e5ad60d0 http://canhekick.it/project/5064d31d8f647c24e5ad60d0
Update2: So they raised $192k yesterday, October 26 with 903 backers which averages to $212 per pledge. So it is all looks fine, perhaps that's how campaigns generally behave.
- robryan 14y agoIt does seem that way, similarly I thought app.net wouldn't reach it's funding goal with a small amount if time to go and it made it easy.
- vidarh 14y agoIt seems it is the norm - lots of people were going back and upping their pledges. They did a ton of updates, and offered cases (for an extra $20 per unit) and a book (at $25) to pull in existing people. And a lot of those of us who had already backed were also far more actively tweeting or otherwise promoting it. Add on coverage here and several other places, and the time pressure. Others pointed out yesterday that it's fairly common for Kickstarter campaigns to get most of their funding in the first 72 and last 24 hours.
