Scanning through the website (Experiment.com) I am both surprised and elated at how many projects seem to be 100% funded.

  Sadly the stats aren't that good. From the article "Two years on and with a smart name change, “Experiment” has launched 5,058 projects and funded 336 of them" so still a long way to go - Kickstarter's success rate I think is around 40%. That's still 336 research projects that wouldn't have been funded otherwise! Go Cindy!

    The 5,058 projects figure are people who've signed up and started projects. There've actually only been 836 launched projects, with 336 funded and 395 failed. Not sure why that number got reported, perhaps an attempt at "there are 5000+ researchers who've signed up". https://experiment.com/stats https://experiment.com/stats

    Every one has themselves philosophy, they only denotes the project they think worthwhile. Some projects don't funded only due to the lack of ones with same belief. But it is really exhilarating that 336 projects are funded

    Success rates in the last 3 months are north of 60%. You can expect this to continue.

  Every research project has an existing community that wants to support it. The challenge is connecting the two. In a truly efficient world all projects would be 100% funded.
