List of 18 Crowdfunded Raspberry Pi Boards That Didn't Make It


If you're looking to crowdfund your Raspberry Pi project maybe you can learn what didn't go right for these projects.  Here is a list of hardware projects that didn't get funded. This list was pulled from the two top crowdfunding sites Indiegogo and Kickstarter.  This isn't all of the projects that I had found but some of the more interesting ones.

*Note items in the list may have been re-listed later and funded.  Some projects may have been ahead of their time as the Pi wasn't popular enough.
