Kickstarter Projects Analysis and Visualization

Project Overview

This project aims to provide Kickstarter enthusiasts, including backers, creators, or even inquisitors, a general perception about successful projects that met the funding goal, as well as a rough projection of the successful rate in 3 years from 2021 to 2023, detailing in geographical and categorical characteristics.

Methods:

  • Datasets Preparations: Python
  • Visualization: Tableau

Project Motivation

Kickstarter is one of the leading crowdfunding platforms for exciting entrepreneurial ideas. Even though there are thousands of projects are uploaded to it every years, less than 40% of those projects had reached the intended money goal.

Using the history data, I hope to deliver a general ideas over successful and failed projects along with their ability to draw funds. Furthermore, the existing data can also produce a estimated model for future projects. The dashboard filters data based on locations, which allows users to understand the unique local growth of projects better.

Future Improvements

I want to incorporate this dataset with a Machine Learning model that can provide more accurate forcasting information for users.
