Hello dear readers, I trust the weekend is treating you well and that you are enjoying better weather than those of us in Sydney.
I thought I might share a website with you that you may find yourself browsing every day or at least every week...I do find myself on there quite often.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term, Kickstarter is a 'crowdfunding' platform. Entrepreneurs are able to post their un-launched projects on the website and acquire capital through users 'pledging' money to the cause or in return for a low cost version of the product or service being launched. It is a wonderful tool for entrepreneurs, especially as you are able to gain capital without having to give away any equity. It's also a fantastic way of spreading the word about your product to potentially millions of people world wide.

Argumentatively one of the most successful campaigns ever was the launch of  Pebble, in excess of $10,000,000. 

Check out some of the other successfully launched projects at Most funded.

Until the next time....
