It bears repeating: Drones Are Hard. Above are some stats on the projects I've backed. I don't regret funding any of them, since I like encouraging these sorts of projects and I learn a lot from their updates. When a crowdfunding project I've backed actually shows up, I'm amazed (I call this being "Kickstartled") and then usually a bit disappointed that it isn't as cool or useful as I'd hoped. But I admire the work that it took into getting that far, and I'll keep backing them. This is my charity work ;-)
It's worth noting that none of these have arrived yet (with the exception of the disastrous Pockedrone, the less said about the better), so these bars will rise.
I've created a public spreadsheet here if you want to add to it. Screenshot from it below:

will be interesting to see what happens with the lilly. pretty much the same thing i can image. also unrelated. I also just purchased an IRIS+ for some light mapping, rather than a solo as the features and flight time are practically the same. I don't need a fancy drone with a HD gopro downlink for mapping. please keep supporting the iris+!
Cheers and thanx for reading
Actually, companies like Hexo and Airdog (and maybe others) picked up quite a bit of money from banks and/or VC's along the way.
Think about....Oculus Rift.
Kickstarter...if I remember correctly.
Yes, the odds are against it, but that Oculus guy is a genius and now probably a billionaire.
