Kickstarter funded 2,064 publishing projects and 158 journalism endeavors last year.
The crowd sharing company revealed some stats from 2014, revealing that 3.3 million people from all over the globe pledged more than half a billion dollars to help finance some 22,252 creative projects. Reading Rainbow was one of the most backed projects of the year with 105,857 backers contributing more than $5.4 million.
Interestingly Wednesday was the most popular day to pledge and March 12, 2014 11 AM-12 PM EST was the hour when backers pledged the most amount of money of the year. That hour saw $400,000 in pledges. It also happens to be within 24 hours of when Neil Young launched his Pono project.
