The Kickstarter was really just to show there was interest so that they could attract Venture Capitalists. I mean, they got 2~ million on KS (however, they were only seeking 250k), and ended up getting over 100 million in VC cash afterwards (I believe).Is this the first big Kickstarter "betrayal" to leverage KS seed money into a buyout that the backers probably don't approve of? Not that they have any say...
VCs saw a huge and quick return on investment and jumped for it.
