Hundreds of new projects launch on Kickstarter every week. By the time you find a winner by hand, the entry window has closed.
Manually scrolling through project lists every day misses the breakouts that matter — the ones funding fast in their first 72 hours.
Funding velocity, backer growth, days-to-goal — these signals require pulling data and doing math. Most sellers skip it and pick on gut feel.
The biggest sourcing wins are projects that take off after launch but before mainstream attention. Without monitoring, you only see them after they explode.
Open Kickstarter. Scroll. Open spreadsheet. Copy numbers. Repeat for every category. A whole morning spent — maybe 30 projects reviewed, with no time-series view to spot momentum.

The upstream scraper runs every 4 hours, and BackerLens caches each query for up to 5 minutes after that. So worst case you're looking at data ~4 hours old. Snapshots are kept indefinitely so the trend chart on each project is the full history.
We built the data pipeline for Kickstarter first because it has the cleanest public data and the highest density of breakout consumer products. Indiegogo and WeFunder are next; they're listed as Pro features because they'll ship after Pro launches.
Four signals: target completion percent, 24-hour funding growth rate, total backer count, and Kickstarter staff-pick status. The score is a deliberately simple composite — no opaque AI here, the formula is in our docs.
The exact features available in Free at launch may shift slightly when Pro ships, but anyone who signed up during early access keeps free access to today's feature set forever. We'll notify you 30 days before any change.
