Yes, I've been thinking about Kickstarter a lot lately. I am mildly convinced this might be a the best approach.
I am not concerned about you being 20-something. I am looking for perspective I might not be generating on my own. All input is valuable.
My own advise to you and others around you age is simple: Finish school. If you don't, you might just live to regret or question your decision not to.
- danso 13y agoI haven't run my own kickstarter but have admired a few close friends with theirs...so I'll just say this...unless you have a killer idea that's half prototyped...don't go to KS just yet. There's so much involved with editorial and in particular, video production...and that's not even counting the designing of the rewards...that you will spend as much time being a manager as you will in being a builder. If that's appealing to you, sure, but that doesn't seem like your current aim
- memracom 13y agoNote that when people surveyed successful startups to find out what characteristics they shared, they discovered that most of them are started by people around your age, i.e. over 40. The Zuckerbergs of the world are outliers and people who try to emulate them are chasing the thin end of the rainbow. You really should advertise for a younger person with some more marketing skills who would like to create a kickstarter project. You have the technical and manufacturing knowledge, and they would provide the branding/marketing side of the equation. Offer to work on their idea or on one of yours. Ideally you would get together, pick three or four ideas, do some market research to narrow down to one and then prepare your kickstarter bid.
