script and collected
information on all Kickstarter projects from April 2011 to April 2012.

The most successful on Kickstarter - projects in the field of technology, design and games. On average, such projects attract from $ 30 thousand to $ 40 thousand, whereas in all other areas - $ 10 thousand or less.
