I have been closely following Kickstarter over the past year having formed a business that has a focus on helping out people with great ideas but perhaps little to no experience in actual manufacturing. I love browsing through and finding interesting projects (often making me kick myself for not having had the idea first!) and it's even better when we get to go on and be involved with those projects and help them come to fruition!

I heard about it on the radio first. I knew then I could possibly start a company one day...

I read about Kickstarter in the New York Times in 2010. Funded a campaign then. It feels much more difficult now (5 years later!)

Honestly I think I fist heard of crowd funding on South Park.

Haha..I honestly can't remember...I probably read it somewhere on the web a year ago...

I took a Kickstarter class at BYU where we had to launch a project all in one semester. It was so life changing.

I heard it from a friend a year ago.

@inkmenswear - Woah that's pretty cool. What would you say was your biggest takeaway?

I've been an independent filmmaker for YEARS. Up to this point my funding has basically been coined "out of pocket and working at two jobs". I'd heard about Kickstarter many years ago but never considered launching a campaign until recently. The film I'm currently working on is incredibly ambitious and requires such a large budget that it only seemed logical to me and my team to utilize Kickstarter's potential.

I heard about kickstarter from my business class
