Abstract
Over the last few years, thanks to crowdfunding, many interesting products have become available for sale that would have been unlikely to hit the market otherwise. Yet crowdfunding is not a silver bullet. If you look closely at the listings at Kickstarter.com and Indiegogo.com, you´ll find many ideas that weren´t successful. Interviews with Amanda Williams and Khai Truong, both of whom have created successful crowdfunding projects, highlight what it takes to exploit crowdfunding to turn an idea into an actual product.
