Navigating the world of crowdfunding can be overwhelming, to put it lightly. Which projects are worth backing? Where's the filter to weed out the hundreds of useless smart devices? To make the process less frustrating, we scour the various online crowdfunding platforms to put together a weekly roundup of our favorite campaigns for your viewing (and spending!) pleasure. Go ahead, free your disposable income:
Enter a caption (optional)Just four days left to pledge for US:E, a camera-equipped smart lock that lets you unlock the door for yourself with your face or fingerprint and for others with the swipe of a finger. It's also app connected and features two-way audio.
Enter a caption (optional)This affordable wheelchair for children is looking to make mobility solutions for disabled children more available and more affordable. This is a very specific product that only directly applies to a small group of people, so be sure to show them a lil' love if its a mission you support, even if it's just from afar.
Enter a caption (optional)Paper Guardian is a notebook shell that encourages the user to recycle paper that's being thrown away. It features a TSA safe paper cutter that trims any size of paper down to the correct size for the notebook shell.
Enter a caption (optional)Micro Drone 4.0 is a tiny drone that can fit in the palm of your hand while still capturing stunning aerial footage. Oh, and it's under $100!
Enter a caption (optional)Trying to quit a habit? Rumor has it that it takes 21 days to do so. better. is a small book/calendar that tracks those 21 days, incentivizing you to stick with your mission. It's the little things that help.
