Hey guys,

I'm a student at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg and I need your help! My study is about crowdfunding and need some opinions of people, who invested in at least one crowdfunding project on Kickstarter, indiegogo, ...

Therefore I created a survey with 14 questions, which take about 2 minutes to answer and help me a lot! If you have those 2 spare minutes, please invest them in this survey,

thanks!
