We do our best to catalogue some of the major campaigns blowing up in the crowdfunding industry.
Today, I’d like to get into some of the most funded Indiegogo projects in Feb of 2019.
You should use these fundraisers as inspiration as you’re going out there and putting together your own project.
There are so many examples of successful crowdfunding campaigns on our podcast and we’ve documented how they did it.
Hope you enjoy this list!
1. MATRIX PowerWatch 2
Funding Amount: $1,897,208
Funding Goal: $100,000

The MATRIX PowerWatch 2 is the world’s most powerful smartwatch you never have to charge.
The new PowerWatch is updated with heart rate monitoring, GPS tracking, and a color display.
It is designed to convert your body heat and ambient light into power.
We also did a podcast episode with the creator behind this project. You can listen to that podcast episode to learn about their crowdfunding secrets.
2. Let’s put women where they belong: THE BOARDROOM.

Funding Goal: $200,000

theBoardlist is a global talent platform that curates, develops and connects exceptional women with board opportunities.
There’s an increasing demand for diverse board talent, but board recruiting still relies on stale, limited referral networks.

GameGlass is a platform for immersive second-screen experiences, for many of the games you love.

This team has invented a rolling walker that is smart, elegant, and highly functional.
Spring helps you stand tall, at a normal social distance.
This project raised more than 2x their fundraising goal.
Key Takeaways
Looking through these Indiegogo campaigns, it astounds me the level of creativity of some of these entrepreneurs. They are able to bring a completely new product to market.
While Indiegogo is a bit smaller than Kickstarter in terms of funding size, they still have strong six and seven figure projects that are launching all of the time.
These are some of my simple takeaways:
- You can use Indiegogo to raise money for platforms, hardware products, senior care, and technology gadgets.
- You don’t need a lot of backers to raise big bucks. theBoardlist raised six figures from 91 backers.
- Always set a lower goal than the amount you’d like to raise, if you’re doing a fixed funding campaign.
If you’re looking to get started with your own project, a good place to start is hopping onto KickstarterForum. There, you can ask questions and learn more about crowdfunding.
In addition, you can reach out to me if you’d like me to take a look at your project idea.
