Let’s talk a little about VR Kickstarters and Crowdfunding.
The Oculus VR story has become well known. Oculus sprang up from an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign which reached its $250k goal in under 24 hours and eventually went on to raise an astounding and unexpected $2.5 million.
Soon after that, it was sold to Facebook for $2 BILLION. And now Oculus is poised to change the world.
Crowdfunding = Big Money for VR
Crowdfunding is a revolutionary new way for great ideas to become a reality. VRPorn.com backs many virtual reality Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and other crowdfunding projects.
This page keeps track of all VR projects.
I do my best to keep this list up to date, but if you see a project that isn’t listed here, then please contact me.
