image: 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.
