Pora Ora Founder Finds Kickstarter Campaign Has Dual Effect ? Cash AND Users

Screen Shot 2012-07-03 at 18.22.02If the car-crash Facebook IPO has sent VCs running scared and accelerators issuing warnings to their young charges then perhaps it's time to just break out the crowd-funding campaign? Plenty of startups seems to be doing it these days, but not many get their nine year old daughter to front a video on their Kickstarter campaign. Founder and CEO of Pora Ora Neil Gallagher - who put his daughter up to it - tells me he thinks the startup will "end up doing a VC round" as a result of their Kickstarter campaign. That's clearly not guaranteed, but the campaign is having a dual effect. "We're adding about 3,000 new users a week whether people on Kickstarter financially back us or not." Could Kickstarter be the new marketing platform?
