Welcome to the Backerjack podcast, where each week industry analyst Ross Rubin and tech blogger Steve Sande bring you a sampling of crowdfunded projects from Kickstarter, Indiegogo and beyond.
Retailers, manufacturers and investors seeking the next category, product or feature should take a look at Backerjack's new Product Innovation Pipeline Reports (PIPR), which track the most innovative products in a number of categories. Ross discusses PIPR and how it can help buyers find products that are attracting buyer dollars even before launch.
This week, we picked five campaigns to discuss:
RAMOS: An innovative and persistent alarm clock using beacon technology miaLinkup: Gain data from your car's built-in computer, and even have the luxury of controlling certain features from an app. Ghost Drone: Love drones but hate the learning curve? Ghost Drone will simplify flying for you. Miiya: A connected smartwatch for kids TreadGaming: Getting exercise while gamingWe'll be back with Episode 3 of the Backerjack podcast in about two weeks, after Ross returns from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
