If the KS bubble bursts it will take down a few well known companies who rely of the constant stream of projects to fund the company (a business model that looks very much like a pyramid scheme in terms of financial stability). I expect to see more KS failures and more unhappy people who lose money and then wake up to the fact that KS offers zero consumer protection.

Personally there are maybe 2 or 3 companies who I trust with my KS cash. And these days I have no interest in a ‘pay now get a product in 12 months time’.

A lot of costs can rise in that time, and coming back and asking for more cash is a real possibility. What do you do? Throw more cash at a failing project, or just write off your loss?
