If you've heard of Kickstarter, chances are you've heard about the record-breaking feat by Minimal Inc who raised $600K to fund their iPod Nano watch. Since CNN covered the story in early December 2010, the company has raised even more money -- almost one million dollars in total. It's pretty amazing if you consider the money they didn't spend in market research, and the time they didn't lose trying to court investors. They simply created their idea and put it to the people.
There are so many different ideas on Kickstarter, there's literally something for everyone. The best part is that if you chose to fund an idea, you get something for your money and there are many different levels of commitment.
It's all in the spirit of giving life to new, creative ideas. Who doesn't love that?
