We head into our <\/span>eighth week<\/b> of crowdfunding pledges tracking above better than the average amount of pledges raised. This past week\u2019s pledge amount was not as high as previous weeks, but we suspect that the reason for slowdown could be that creators and backers were getting ready for the Memorial Day holiday break in the U.S. this past weekend. Regardless, the total amount pledged continues to trend upwards since we\u2019ve started tracking the beginning of April. Since then, we\u2019ve covered <\/span>how coronavirus is affecting the crowdfunding space<\/span><\/a> and how now is still a <\/span>good time to launch your campaign<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The red line in the graph shows the total number of pledges raised across all project categories. The dotted \u201cGoal\u201d line is the average funds raised in 2019. Between each large red spike, there are small dips below the goal line which is typical for pledges to dip as we head into the weekend, and pick back up during the weekday.<\/p><\/div>\n
