A Guide to Kickstarter & Crowd Funding [INFOGRAPHIC]

Kickstarter is one of the most visible companies in the burgeoning crowd funding space — if not the only player in the game — thanks to projects like the iPod nano watch kit.

The infographic serves not only as a guide of sorts to the Kickstarter process, but also as a history of crowd funding as we know it.
