The holiday season is in full swing, but these creators (and many others) have been very busy this December working on their campaigns and moving onto the next steps including manufacturing and shipping.
These 6 campaigns have all recently launched, raising more than $800K in combined funds so far! This list features four Technology campaigns, one Video/Web and one Community project.
With all of the changes happening at Indiegogo recently – their partnership with Brookstone, the Generosity launch, and talk of a new program that will help Chinese startups introduce their products to the US – it seems as though we might see more high-profile campaigns launching on Indiegogo in 2016.
