I’ve backed a few projects and so far only had one not come to life. Several junk items that didn’t live up to the promises. Of course the most expensive one I backed is the one that didn’t materialize. But the makers are planning to start back up on it next year once they’ve paid off their debts. But everything was designed on technology in 2015 or 2014, or goodness, might have been 2013, I’d have to go look. They’ll have to start a large portion of the project over to fit components that are now available as many of the old ones will not be available. My biggest frustration is the maker was offering for us to get our money back in an update posted years ago and that we could back out at one point. I requested that I would like to do so per their offer at that time, and it never happened. I feel like indiegogo should have made them honor it because they offered it. But overall indiegogo does a really good job to let you know the risks and such and help keep things above board. I would only invest money that you can live without, and if something comes of it, enjoy the surprise! keep your expectations low. However, Some things turn out really great.
