Kickstarter

I've been paired up with Jillian to work on the Kickstarter fundraiser and that is what I mainly focused on for the first week of October. I did some research on Kickstarter that analyzed the most successful campaigns and how they succeeded. I learned a lot. Here are some of the most helpful articles if you're interested:

I found out that there are "sweet spots" for incentives, meaning donation amounts that are the most popular among supporters. The sweet spots for our goal level are $10, $25, and $50. In our Skype interview about incentives Jillian and I made sure to pay special attention to these sweet spots.

I'm ready to get started with Kickstarter and start getting funding!
