For one thing, we don't know how much hard work or research each of them did. So many factors that have nothing to do with random chance - things like target markets, marketing strategies, budgeting choices, choice of business partner etc. When a kickstarter fails, it's not usually down to luck, it's down to the kickstarters screwing up their presentation, or just having a product no one wants. When a kickstarter succeeds, but then fails to deliver product, it's usually because the kickstarter screwed up their budget, or cut corners they shouldn't have, or were just never ready in the first place. And kickstarters who succeed and deliver, but then fail to make any money, usually screwed up their budgeting and promised too much. And you can see the difference in experienced kickstarters, those that have a few successful one under their belt - they improve their presentation and budgeting, get better suppliers and distributors, don't promise too much etc. Sure, sometimes a kickstarter failis because of bad luck - but usually success is a result of skill, not chance.</blockquote>
