Re:Kickstarter vs. Indiegogo – A Creator's Perspective on Friday November 09, 2018 @06:22PM (#18418863)
Hey everyone,

Feel free to reach out to me if you want any significant data on how to set up a crowdfunding project. My startup specializes in this kind of data.

Just some quick data for your interest.

As of today, within the last 24 hours.

Kickstarter has 305 projects end, with 148 of them being funded.

IndieGoGo had 205 end with 18 being funded

Ulule.com (mainly for Europe) has 27 end with 19 fund.

These numbers are pretty typical of what we see every day. The exposure on KS is much better. If you want any help reaching backers who would already be predisposed to backing a project like yours, that is what Backit.com does. Again, feel free to drop me an email, and I don't mind helping answer any data-driven questions you may have about setting up a project.

I got my second rejection letter for backit.com about 2 hours ago. Obviously rejection stings, but it is still cool to think that something i wrote was read by Paul or Sam. Still going to push forward.
