Crowdsourcing site Kickstarter on Tuesday revealed it has hit a new milestone: over 100,000 launched projects. The company founded just over four years ago in 2009 also noted that of those, 43.96 percent have been funded successfully. Not bad for such a young service.
Kickstarter users have so far pledged $630 million, of which $535 million has been accepted by projects that hit their funding goal. That leaves just $95 million dollars that has been either pledged unsuccessfully ($68 million to be exact) or pledged for projects that are still live ($27 million is currently up for grabs).
