Kickstarter reported on 100,000 successfully launched projects.

After the launch of Kickstarter, some did not believe in the success of crowdfunding, but over the years, this model has repeatedly proved its viability. Today, Kickstarter celebrates 100,000 successfully launched campaigns of projects - it took almost seven years.

The first 100 projects that successfully collected the required funds for the launch left 121 days in 2009, and a total of $ 1.9 billion private investment in various projects went through the platform. The last 100 projects before the significant number were successfully financed in just three days. The most active participant Kickstarter launched 94 successful projects.

According to Kickstarter statistics, which was published in the official blog, then 100,000 projects were launched on behalf of 86,101 organizers, which means that some of them had at least two successful projects. In principle, this is quite expected, since the authors of many successful projects are returning to Kickstarter with new ones. As an example - Pebble with the second generation of smart watches Pebble Time.
