tramplinn··on How do they make money?
Correct me if I'm wrong. Kickstarter gets 5% of each successfully funded project. So if we open a Kickstarter stat page (http://www.kickstarter.com/help/stats) what will we see there? 319M of successful dollars. 5% of this sum is about $16M. Kickstarter was founded in 2009 and has got more than $16M in expenses for 3 years? Really?
