Business Insider hat sich die Zahlen hinter der Crowdfunding-Plattform Kickstarter näher angeschaut und mutmaßt über die jährlichen Einnahmen:
Kickstarter, a relatively unknown startup that helps creators raise money for independent projects, will generate over $5,000 in revenue today, implying an annualized rate of close to $2 million.We took a look at all of the Kickstarter projects closing within the next 24 hours. Even if none of them raises any more money today, those projects will raise over $100,000. Kickstarter takes a 5% cut of the funds it raises. So if today is representative, that means the company is generating revenue at a $1.8 million annualized rate. Not too shabby for a company founded a year and a half ago.
Die User von Kickstarter haben laut Angaben der Betreiber bis dato 20 Millionen US-Dollar über die Plattform in diverse Projekte investiert. Das entspricht einer Million US-Dollar Umsatz. Kickstarters Launch war im April 2009.
