Shadowrun, Atlantic City, and the ups and Downs of Kickstarter

Shadowrun, Atlantic City, and the ups and Downs of Kickstarter

Introducing the MAKE Crowdfund Fund. The MAKE Crowdfund Fund. We are putting up a chunk of money each month. We are going to nominate a set of active KS campaigns with a maker sensibility to them. We are going to ask you the readers to decide which one we should back. Whichever one you select, we’ll back at a level to get the primary product. If the project funds, and delivers, we’ll write up and shoot a whole un-boxing, testing, and tear-down sequence to report back on how good the end result was. We want to do our part in both supporting maker KS projects, and keeping them honest.

Crowdfunding Friday: Our Favorite Projects This Week

Here at Make, we’ve been fans of crowdfunding as a way for makers to move their dreams from prototype to product for a long time. We are just now starting to take baby steps towards curating and recommending these kinds of projects to our readers, but we think this can be a valuable service, since we have so many connections to the makers taking these leaps, and those who already have.
