With the long list of new partnerships and programs that Indiegogo has going on lately, it isn’t a surprise to see that the platform is becoming a hot spot for technology and design projects. This month there were several unique and interesting projects trending on Indiegogo, and some of them even have time left until their campaigns close.
Here are some of the highest earning ‘New and Hot’ Indiegogo campaigns in September. My favorite is number 7!
1. Glance Clock. See what you need, when you need it.

2. BilletSPIN K2 Precision Spinning Top
Creators: Richard Stadler
Amount Funded: $365K+
Number of Backers: 1.7K+
Richard Stadler’s original BilletSPIN Kickstarter campaign raised over $35K in 2015, and this redesigned version has taken Indiegogo by storm. So far, Stadler has far surpassed his modest $5,000 funding goal (by a few hundred thousand) and still has a couple of days left. These new tops are made with fifteen fangs for an aggressive look, and are available in a long list of material and color combinations, with great bases to spin them on.
A lot of perks have sold out but you can still get your own BilletSPIN for as little as $155.
