I have just checked on my IndieGoGo account to remind myself what I had donated to The Cause. £25 for which I get lifetime access to 'The Platform' (whatever that is).
They raised £295k on IndieGoGo which was 111% of their original Goal amount, so it is not as if they got less money than they expected.
The last email I can find from Brabham in my gmail search is the one with my user/pwd details for their 'Brabham Digital' site.
I've also donated to Bloodhound and it is a good comparison as to how to run a (seemingly) successful project mixing crowd funded elements with commercial sponsorships, and having well defined goals (breaking a record and providing education)
Bloodhound seem to be able to generate a lot of goodwill, PR and volunteering efforts based on the education element of the project.
