Have you ever heard of Kickstarter? It is a website where aspring entrepreneuers go to get their creative ideas funded by people on the Internet called “backers”. Kickstarter is the place to go when you want your idea to get noticed, have full copyright ownership of your idea/product and to get the funding that you need to bring it to life. Below are 7 really creative ideas/products that I found on Kickstarter- check them out!
- Jorno — the pocketable, folding, bluetooth keyboard by Scott Starrett: This was a successful Kickstarter project, but I found this a fantastic idea since I sometimes get sick of having to text everything on my phone. Having a keyboard connected to my iPhone by bluetooth would enable to me to type things instead.
- SmartThings: Make Your World Smarter by SmartThings: This open platform technology device just blew me away with its ability to control your air conditioner, weather watcher, preprogram your lights to change themselves when you are away (so if you’re worried about burglars breaking in when you aren’t home, this is the solution to your problem!). You can also protect your belongings by having one of the smart apps track your drawers containing the most valuable items. Instacube and SmartThings have just created a partnership to make their impact in the business world much stronger, dynamic and integrated. Instacube, called the “A Living Canvas” is this really cool Kickstarter idea which is a giant and physical Instagram that shows pictures from your Instagram feed in a much bigger and clearer format. Instacube is a great thing for Instagram lovers.
Barbell Denim: Functional denim has arrived by Barbell Apparel:
Many people complain that jeans never can quite fit them… and someone created a potential solution to that problem. Have muscular legs and a smaller waist? No problem, they have jeans designed for that type of body. Goodbye, frustration from trying on a million pairs jeans and never finding the correct fit!
lift — the easy way to open your garage door by John Wei:
Only have one garage door opener in your family? Do you sometimes get annoyed not having a garage door opener? This smartphone app actually is programmed to open your garage door for you. I think it’s a great idea- the only concern I have about it is just how secure your garage and house would be if your smartphone ever got stolen.
Pawda™: Pet GPS Tracking System with Apple and Android App by Ross Lambert:
Ever get worried that your dog or cat will go missing and you won’t be able to find your furry loved ones? Pawda is a small GPS tracking device that fastens to your pet’s collar and you can track your pet’s location via smartphone.
The Mini Mobile Robotic Printer by ZUtA Labs Ltd.:
Imagine this: Pocket-sized robotic mobile printer that works its own way across a page. Pretty cool, right? This printer can print anytime, anywhere, with the command of any device: your smartphone, tablets, and laptops. Check out this really cool video demonstrating how the Mini Mobile Robotic Printer works.
RECAP C- Record iPhone calls in iPad, Android mobile/tablet by Igor Ramos:
Do you ever find yourself wishing you could go back to a certain phone call and taken detailed notes on it? Fret not, there’s the RECAP-C, which records your phone calls from your mobile device to whatever technology device it is hooked up to, like your laptop.
I have listed 7 cool ideas on Kickstarter, but there are many other cool ideas that you definitely should check out by visiting Kickstarter’s website.
