Stuff. Design-Inspired Innovation. Connected Health: Preview. Nathaniel Hansen When Nathaniel Hansen set out in May 2010 to fund his idea for a documentary using a site called Kickstarter, he wasn’t sure what to expect.

Connected Health: Preview

After all, the concept of “crowdfunding”, which lets contributors and fans help fund a project in return for rewards, was fairly new and unproven, and would people really contribute their own money to help him realize his vision? It turns out, yes. Three weeks later, Hansen had surpassed his $11,000 goal and realized a revolution was at hand in how people funded their ideas and passion. Soon others were asking him how to launch a crowdfunding campaign, and over time the filmmaker developed and fine-tuned a method for creating successful crowdfunding campaigns, and found the same principles and methods applied no matter what the project, whether it was for a movie, a new business idea, or a new technology product.
