Mt. Rushmore of Kickstarter Fiascos
from Mt. Rushmore Podcast
I find it hard to believe that there's a sucker born every minute. After all, people are putting their hard-earned money into Kickstarter campaigns a lot more often than that! This isn't to say that every crowdfunded invention is a grift. It's just that for every Oculus Rift, there are 100 products that don't work as advertised or just plain never see the light of day, leaving "investors" holding the bag – and a worthless receipt. This week we're looking at the crowdsourced concepts that should have stayed as concepts. We touch on everything from heavy duty coolers that are a bit too heavy duty to movie auteurs panhandling for money online to make their latest dud "with their vision." We hope you enjoy it. Also: remember that with $100 donation, you'll receive a phone call from us thanking you for listening.
