I could "kickstart" a trip to the moon with no engineering knowledge, and a budget of $5000, and by this metric I would be "successful". Probably within an hour if I properly attached the ideas of unseating a major tech company, and using android to do it. Also video games.
That doesn't mean I went to the moon. It means I successfully got $5000 out of people.
Success in the context of Kickstarter means you raised your money. Just like a successful round of venture funding means the company was able to raise money (and not necessarily deliver a real product).
For Kickstarter projects, I think it's better we use more precise terms, like "successfully funded", rather than the vague "successful".
BLHack: Your idea is interesting, but a bit vague. Could you send a brief summary of the project? Please find enclosed $500k just in case you need a seed for you know whatev. Looking forward to more: your new board.
Thanks - couple of thoughts here. You demonstrate good potential to disrupt some big companies with the coffee shop video. But you need a lot more momentum, so please hold off on coffee shop work until series A.
I would also have loved to share the render with my niece's dog, who's really crazy about the moon, but I couldn't find any social buttons. This takes precedence.
I'd like to introduce you to a social media director who would be a very good fit (cc). Please set up an interview.
Thanks,
Your board.
