“But tech projects represent just one portion of Kickstarter’s funding base. Back in February Kickstarter co-founder Yancey Strickler said the company was on pace to distribute more funding than the $146 million given out each year by the National Endowment for the Arts. ¶ I decided to take a look at all the successful projects funded since the beginning of 2012 to get a sense of how the startup was growing. ¶ Based on that data, Kickstarter is on pace to raise around $300 million this year, triple what it did in 2011.” • #trendtaste - × × ×
