We then present two different types of analysis: (i) a simple descriptive statistics showing interesting results about the most successful categories of Kickstarter campaigns; (ii) the potentials of adopting a time-series analysis approach to better understand trends in Kickstarter and to perform a simple forecast of future trends of successful campaigns.
