Didn't come up with this as a scheme to make money, or that she couldn't afford to send her daughter to an $800 camp.
It smacks of a stunt to grab money. Anyone with any familiarity with kickstarter knows damn well that it's a lottery where some projects get vastly overfunded. What better way to make that happen than to make an emotional appeal to get people to give their money away. This is begging plain and simple.
- jgerman 14y agoI'm actually shocked no one has reported it.
- joshdotsmith 14y agoNot only is she an entrepreneur, but was supposedly one of Fortune's "Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs." I'm guessing Kickstarter is definitely superfluous here, and it's a PR stunt. Pretty sad to see when I initially got really excited.
