Top 5 Kickstarter Projects topping the charts and getting the community in action

September 3rd - via: startups.fm
Kickstarter as a platform has its own beauty and is a niche community that has been supporting insanely creative projects across the planet.

This loop helps in better execution and obviously building something that people love. They literally put money where their mouth is. Here are some awesome projects which we thought needs a mention. (Read More)

Haptix’s creators, who have just kicked off a Kickstarter campaign seeking $100,000 to help fund manufacturing costs, are Darren Lim and Lai Xue. (Read More)
