Indiegogo had a big year in 2014, and the crowdfunding platform isn’t too humble to brag about it. It has released a video titled “Indiegogo 2014 Year In Review” that recaps a few of the most prominent projects to grace the site during the previous 12 months.
The video runs through various tech campaigns, including JIBO the robot and the Solar Roadways project, both of which brought in upwards of $2.2 million for their creators. A few film-related campaigns are also noted, including the ones for Life Itself and Dear White People.
Not mentioned in the video are the many online video creators who found success on Indiegogo in 2014. Notable projects include Rooster Teeth‘s Lazer Team film, which raised more than $2.4 million, and Wil Wheaton‘s TableTop campaign, which topped out at more than $1.2 million. Indiegogo has forged a strong link with the online video community, so these projects will no doubt continue into 2015, and in our Fund This column, we’ll continue to discuss the ones that catch our eyes.
