Kickstarter calls itself "the world's largest funding platform for creative projects." And last month, it rolled out a new page to share its data.

The site says its numbers are updated at least once a day. Right now:

• 64,389 projects have been launched
• 44% of those were successful
• 12% did not receive a single pledge
• Most successfully funded projects raise less than $10,000

Seven completed projects have raised more than $1 million. Another recently passed that milestone... and did it in record time. Ouya, a video game project, hit seven figures in just 8 hours and 22 minutes.

Another tech project is hoping to have similar success. The online comic, Penny Arcade, is seeking $1 million to go ad-free.

Don't forget, Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing deal. So Penny Arcade won't get a penny unless it reaches its goal.

The site's co-founder, Yancey Strickler, spoke to us back in March.
