Kickstarter is the worlds largest crowdfunding program, which is basically a place where someone with a start up company or project can put their idea on a website and other people can donate money to build up to a bigger goal. There are many small projects that get started from it, but you never really hear of a company making it "big" until recently.Facebook just recently purchased Oculus for only a small sum of 2 billion dollars.
Many early donators to Oculus, a company that created virtual reality glasses, are a little upset that their money was basically thrown away by kickstarter. This website they believed is to be used for independent donations of not great volume.And since facebook came in a just bought it out for a whopping 2 billion dollars they feel that their donations were useless.
Besides a couple people being dissapointed about the outcome of the kickstart. I believe this company being bought out by a major cooperation gives a lot of hope to more small start up companies. This gives people the motivation and the hope they need to get their start up a run at making it big.
