Did you know there are a lot of super-successful Kickstarter campaigns that originated from Hong Kong?

Crowdfunding on Kickstarter is a speedy way to harness the power of the crowd.

Ever since Kickstarter launched in 2009, anyone with an idea could create a campaign – and in just a month’s time, raise enough funds to breathe life into a dream product.
