This graph illustrates the share of projects (in percentages) that successfully cash in the pledges (i.e. collect an amount of capital equal or greater than the target budget), averaged by project category. The categories are ordered in descending order of success rate. Tech projects are in orange. Near the bars are reported the percentages. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the June 12, 2015 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by M.G. Colombo at Politecnico di Milano in Milan, Italy, and colleagues was titled, "Cash from the crowd."
