Thomas Sychterz, one of the creators of the Wipebook, talks to us about how their little project with a $4,000 (CAD) goal has exploded in popularity. The Wipebook, essentially a whiteboard meets a notepad, was already a real product when the team decided to take it to Kickstarter to truly test the market. The results have been incredible (over 3,500 as on 12/13/13).
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1... of the creators behind the Vice Dean of Innovation at the Wharton School, is an ice cream scoop collector. He recently turned his interest, and background as a leading professor of design, to create a new, better ice cream scoop. The result is the Belle-V Ice Cream Scoop, which went live on Kickstarter on October 29th and reached it's modest $5,000 goal soon after.
In this episode of Funded Friday, we interview ask Thomas about what happened in the campaign and how they got so much traction so quickly.
