Kickstarter Success: TriggerHappy Camera Remote

  • The TriggerHappy camera remote is yet another Kickstarter success story.
  • TriggerHappy, from engineer Kevin Harrington and his development team, provides digital SLR control via its iPhone or Android app.
  • As of April 6, the Kickstarter campaign had 27 days remaining, yet the TriggerHappy team had already raised $125,000 (their initial funding goal was $25,000).
  • Digital Trends interviewed the young software engineer about his concept and his team’s experience with Kickstarter.
  • According to Harrington: “Kickstarter is a great place to bootstrap a business. That’s what we wanted. We don’t see TriggerHappy as a project, but instead we see it as a business with an ever-improving product. Starting a business requires capital. Kickstarter is a great place to raise that capital without giving away company equity to investors. Crowdfunding is how we wanted to raise capital, and Kickstarter is the premium crowdfunding service.”
  • The post features a 4-minute video describing the TriggerHappy project.
