Crowdfunding is a really cool way for innovative products to see the light of day, without the restrictions placed on in-house development at large companies. It’s also a great place to check out video games from small studios, movies, and even campaigns for social good.
With all of those campaigns competing for your attention, it can be tricky to find ones based on your interests. Let KnowTechie do all the hard work for you, with our picks of the crop for March.

So… with how many crowdfunding campaigns there are out there, how do you choose what to back? Well, I use a combination of checking out their campaign page, looking to see if any of the comments on their prior campaigns show dissatisfied backers, and also companies I’ve already had successful pledge fulfillment from.
I also tend to stick to gadget areas that I know a bit about, like photography, cooking, maker tools, and writing implements. That way I can judge if the campaign’s aspirations are within reach or not, which adds to my decisions. I’m also picking campaigns with some time left to run, as it’s no fun finding out about cool campaigns after they’ve finished.
So, with all of that out of the way, here are some of the crowdfunding campaigns I’ve found worthy of attention in March:
Transformer Couch
Is your couch locked to the seating positions it came with? How boring. Transformer Couch lets you rearrange it into the seating you need, when you need, from traditional layouts to fully-separated if you really need the extra seating.
Split off an accent chair, or turn it into a sectional, an L-shape, a bed for guests, or even a cool playground for those cushion forts for the kids. Don’t worry about it sliding around if you sit on a seam, cause it uses some hefty clamps to hold everything together.
