Kickstarter pre-launch followers vs total funded

[John Lloyd1]

It is interesting that the number of followers is roughly the same as the number of backers.

I can't promise that holds true outside that list of 12 of our own projects.

It would be nice if the data were easier to acquire. I can't even go back and look at our own previous KS campaigns to see what their follower count was at launch. I had to track it manually. And I didn't do that for our first one, so I only have these 2.

But FWIW, ours were:

Campaign	Followers at Launch	Final Backers
Free5e	684	683
Limitless Champions	103	255

Champions was a strange campaign in may ways, so Free5e lining up with the 1:1 is probably more typical.
