Kickstarter 2013: A Year in Review

January 8, 2014 @ 11:50 am By JD Alois

In similar fashion to the year prior, Kickstarter has put together a super cool synopsis of 2013. Last year’s was pretty tough to beat, especially with the Griz Coat and all, but I have to hand it to the Kickstarter team as once again they have put together a great list of cool projects highlighting an amazing year.

As part of their presentation they have shared some interesting data points:

3 million people pledged $480 million for 2013
An astounding $1.3 million pledged per day
$913 pledged every minute
Backers came from all continents and 214 countries (and yes, Antarctica was represented)
Over 800,000 people backed more than once
19,911 projects were successfully funded
Pebble was funded
Inocente won an Oscar
And we are all incredibly excited to see Veronica Mars on the big screen…
