Cool Tech Stuff from Startups on Indiegogo

Startups raising money on Indiegogo.com are providing a very diverse and interesting group of products. One of the nice features about this crowdfunding service is that if you donate enough, you can be the first person on your block to get one of these cool tech items.

TrackR has created the TrackR bravo in conjunction with the UC Santa Barbara Technology Management Department. This is the thinnest item tracking device ever. Their goal was to raise $20,000, yet they have raised an incredible $319,839, which is 1599% of their goal. Talk about a hot item. And what's amazing is that they still have 30 more days to go in their fundraising.

I am seriously considering getting an Anywhere Fridge. It is a portable, collapsible, solar powered refridgerator-freezer and warmer, all in one. Talk about an incredible money raising success! They had a goal of only raising $1,000 and have so far raised $57,549, with still 24 days to go.

What will they think of next. The CreoPop, the world's first 3-D pen. And what's really interesting is that the ink can come out in different colors in one pen stroke, and ink that glows in the dark, and ink that changes color ased on the temperature.  Still 26 days to go.

 It never ceases to amaze me the incredible and amazing stuff that startups are coming out with.

Buy your own ‘Dragonfly’ Robotic Drone for $119

How would you like to own your own dragonfly robot, the same type that the Air Force spent a million dollars developing. Well now you can from a company called TechJect. The dragonfly, that was developed with an Air Force grant, weighs less than one ounce and is the size of a flying insect.

One of the cool features is that it can be operated with an Apple (AAPL) iPhone, and you can use it for home security with the built-in hi-def camera. It can also be used for games.

The company is using Indiegogo to raise funds for its project with a goal of $111,000 that has already been exceeded many times over. As a matter of fact, the company has raised over half a million dollars at the time this article was written, and they still have a couple more weeks to go. A perfect example of how crowd funding really works.

A donation of $119 will get you a NOISELESS Alpha Dragonfly. 429 out of 500 have been claimed so far. The Delta, Gamma, and Omega Dragonfly packages are sold out. But you can still get the Dragonfly Swarm pack with Google Pad for $1199. Delivery wil be in July of 2013.
