Every week, we give team members at Indiegogo an opportunity to talk about the campaigns that have caught their attention. Here’s what we were talking about this week:
Alice
GIG 50-50: Uncovering 50 Inspiring Stories from 50 States

I’d enjoy watching the news much more if it were filled with stories like these!
Amanda

An amazing technology that really has the potential to change the way the world understands, prevents, and manages the spread of diseases! Plus the thermometer is a great addition to any household!
Bre

What do you get when you mix personal training with Indiegogo? 10,000 Burpees… oh and $10,000 too:) After 5 years of personal training, Max wants to open a gym to take his dream to the next level. For every dollar he raises, he’ll do a burpee! Talk about walking the walk, or jumping the jump, rather 🙂
David
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Ever wanted to see someone tell a story while juggling string cheese? Rearrange furniture while performing 4 different styles of dance? Draw a self-portrait in a speeding car? Reward or punish these valiant souls with your contributions!
John T.
Location: Toronto, Canada
When I met the campaign owner Michael Mak, he handed to me a set of baseball cards of each of the main characters of Ramen Party, and I thought the concept was fun. They also have a great pitch video, which has since been replaced by an example of what part of Ramen Party will be about. Primarily a kid’s show, Ramen Party seeks to teach kids about the things we eat by turning them into fun, interesting characters, each with their own distinct personality.
Karen
Chimaira *CROWN OF PHANTOMS* Fan Edition CD-DVD
Location: Melbourne, Australia
These guys have great and creative perks, love the USB port with song stems so you can create your own remix, also funding a special fan edition CD. Love it!
Kate D.
JamStick – Real Strings, Real Frets. Turn your iPad into a Real Instrument.
Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
This is awesome. Turn your iPad into a real instrument.
Liz

This is my favorite campaign this week because it’s earth day/week, and they are helping the earth. Also, this area was hammered by SuperStorm Sandy, and NYC is my home town so want to help bring them back!
