They've missed their target, I don't think a single kickstarter has been successful having only reached 20% on day 1. (Most successful drives have well over 50% done day 1.)
Here they haven't even reached that after a few days.
Unless shuttleworth decides to stick the money in himself this won't be happening.
- kevcampb 13y agoVery curious to whether that's allowed or not. Run a Kickstarter campaign, buy your own product to fill in demand. You'd think that if they get within 90% of total and the option is there they'd take it - the 10% of the items they buy themselves they'll get to sell on anyway. Can someone read the Kickstarter T&Cs for me? :)
- kstop 13y agoIt's Indiegogo, so a bit more Wild West in that regard. I'm pretty sure it's allowed.
- LordIllidan 13y agoYou can contribute money without having to get a perk/product.
- lettergram 13y agoI am sure it is, everyone still gets the cut of the donations so you'll still be paying them for their services.
- weisser 13y agoI know bands that have "kicked" in the remainder to reach goal at the 11th hour. Probably waaaay more common than you'd imagine.
- mehwoot 13y agoIt is definitely not allowed on Kickstarter. Whether that is in the T&C I'm not sure, but I know people have warned about it.
- miga 13y agoDepends on break-even point. Even if, there is still a value in accepting pre-orders for company to be certain of an actual market size.
- toble 13y agoI wonder if they have arrangements for corporate donors to jump in and buy the top tier at scheduled times... I am thinking not, since it's through PayPal, but never know.
