Nerds Supporting Each Other
Kickstarter is known for funding creative projects that
wouldn’t exist otherwise, and the most inspiring case thus far has been video
game company Double Fine’s blistering success on the platform. A team made up
of video game veterans showed the world just what a community can do when they really want
something – raise over 3 million dollars. Fans beat the $400,000 goal in a
matter of hours, making this one of the most successful fundraising efforts in
internet history.
