Projects funded were up modestly, a 10% increase from 1,597 to 1,754, while dollars raised were up over $9 million, from $16,217,336 to $25,739,173.  Efficiency improved dramatically, with a decline in unfunded projects from 712 to 612. 

BOOM! Studios’ BRZRKR, by Keanu Reeves, Matt Kindt, and Ron Garney led the way with over $1.4 million raised.
