Prototypes for Kickstarter: Requirements and Guidelines<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The development of<\/span> prototypes for Kickstarter<\/b> is one of the most requested services by individual inventors and young startups, both in Europe and the United States.<\/span><\/p>

It's no surprise, because:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

  1. Kickstarter es la plataforma l\u00edder del mundo para <\/span>conseguir financiaci\u00f3n para procesos creativos<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>
  2. To <\/span>launch a product idea on Kickstarter<\/b>, it is mandatory to have a functional prototype.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    If you have any doubts, you can read it in their own <\/span>guidelines<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    What kind of inventions can I launch on Kickstarter? \n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Kickstarter is one of the most open <\/span>crowdfunding<\/b> platforms we know. They welcome creatives, entrepreneurs, and inventors across a wide range of product categories.<\/span><\/p>

    So much so that among its top funded projects, you can find: written novels, software platforms, and above all, innovative inventions designed to capture users' attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    The common requirement for any creative project compatible with Kickstarter is that it must connect with backers. They need to trust in the product\u2019s usefulness to be willing to pay for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    Benefits of launching your prototype on Kickstarter \n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    You\u2019ll understand it shortly \u2014 we\u2019ll dive deeper into it. But not all crowdfunding platforms are the same, nor do they provide the same value to the inventor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    El denominador com\u00fan de todos los <\/span>proyectos exitosos en Kickstarter<\/b>, es que han conseguido captar clientes tras la <\/span>publicaci\u00f3n de un prototipo en Kickstarter<\/b> y la explicaci\u00f3n de los beneficios del futuro producto.<\/span><\/p>

    Real users. With faces, eyes, and teeth\u2026 They make the decision to pay with their own money so you can have the chance to bring your product to life.<\/span><\/p>

    Kickstarter hosts the largest community of backers in the world. Therefore, the main benefits of<\/span> creating a prototype for Kickstarter<\/b> are:<\/span><\/p>

    You gain confidence.<\/b> It doesn\u2019t matter if your partner or friends don\u2019t believe in your idea. You\u2019ll be able to prove, with objective data, how many users are interested and how many are actually willing to pay for your invention \u2014 even when all you can show is a prototype.<\/span><\/p>

    Publicity for your invention<\/b>. No one tells you this, but making your product go viral and connect with an online audience is neither easy nor cheap. Kickstarter is the perfect launch stage. It has the largest community of backers in the world, which maximizes your invention\u2019s impact on the internet.<\/span><\/p>

    Funding.<\/b> Securing funding to turn your idea into a marketable product is capital-intensive \u2014 you\u2019ll need investors or customers willing to buy your product before it\u2019s fully developed. A prototype for Kickstarter can represent a radical shift in your roadmap.<\/span><\/p>

    Technical feasibility.<\/b> Patent offices are full of <\/span>examples of patents<\/b> that are neither viable nor useful. On Kickstarter, the rules are clear: no fake images, no <\/span>3D renderings of non-existent products<\/b>, no <\/span>patents without prototypes<\/b>, and no using third-party prototypes. To raise money on the world\u2019s largest crowdfunding platform, you\u2019ll need to create a <\/span>prototype for Kickstarter.<\/b><\/p>

    Commitment and accountability.<\/b> Inventors are often overly perfectionist. Taken to the extreme, this can jeopardize progress toward the next <\/span>steps of an innovative product<\/b>. To raise funds on Kickstarter, you must present a <\/span>functional prototype<\/b>\u2014but your backers expect a reward. Therefore, raising funds on Kickstarter to develop your business adds a new layer of responsibility that will require you to set clear and defined goals.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    Why does Kickstarter require the creation of a functional prototype? <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Raising money to <\/span>develop a product that doesn't exist<\/b><\/a> without demonstrating its technical feasibility is nonsense. No one will trust you\u2014let alone your idea. Kickstarter has several measures in place for those who try to use fake tools during the fundraising process.<\/span><\/p>

    If you want others to believe in your invention and the future of your project, you must first prove that you\u2019re willing to go all in. At the very least, you\u2019ll need a <\/span>functional prototype for Kickstarter<\/b>, with the appearance of a final product, that allows backers to validate its value proposition.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Differences between types of crowdfunding \n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    When we talk about crowdfunding, we all understand it refers to raising funds, raising <\/span>funding to develop a product<\/b><\/a>. That\u2019s correct, but there\u2019s one detail you need to understand: not all <\/span>crowdfunding platforms<\/b> or <\/span>crowdfunding models<\/b> are the same.<\/span><\/p>

    The most well-known crowdfunding models are <\/span>Equity crowdfunding<\/b> and <\/span>Reward crowdfunding<\/b>, which is the model promoted by <\/span>Kickstarter<\/b>. The main difference, as their names suggest, is that in the first case, participating users invest their money to obtain shares or equity in the business. The goal is to generate a return on their investment.<\/span><\/p>

    In the case of <\/span>crowdfunding platforms<\/b>, inventors and creatives offer rewards. Backers or users who contribute money only expect a reward in return for their investment. For example, it could be a gift consisting of the first units of a product.<\/span><\/p>

    It\u2019s true that the amounts invested in both types of platforms are very different. On Kickstarter, contributions can be as low as $20.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Prototipos para Kickstarter que pueden salir muy bien. \n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    De forma general, podr\u00edamos diferenciar entre<\/span> prototipos de nicho<\/a>s<\/b> y <\/span>prototipos de masas<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Los <\/span>prototipos de nicho, son aquellos que se desarrollan para atender las necesidades de un mercado muy concreto, reducido, pero muy fieles a su convicciones, comportamientos y necesidades. Por el contrario, los <\/span>prototipos de masas, est\u00e1n pensados para resolver problemas comunes, que padecen la mayor\u00eda de las personas en el mundo.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Por ejemplo, si pensamos en <\/span>un producto biom\u00e9dico para masas, <\/b>podr\u00edamos pensar en un <\/span>dispositivo innovador<\/b> para pacientes de diabetes. En cambio, un <\/span>dispositivo biom\u00e9dico innovador<\/b><\/a> para nichos podr\u00eda ser un guante sensorial, para mejorar la calidad de vida de personas que sufren alodinia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Aunque ambos negocios podr\u00edan ser muy rentables y hacer que sus inventores ganaran mucho dinero, lo cierto es que, en Kickstarter suelen tener mayor \u00e9xito, aquellos proyectos innovadores que son capaces de mostrar, con un prototipo funcional, que sus iniciativas funcionan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    If you\u2019re planning to create a <\/span>prototype for Kickstarter<\/b>, or if you\u2019ve chosen another way to fund your project\u2019s future, we can help you.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
