The Critical Path: The First Year by Horace Dediu — Kickstarter Funding Successful
by Horace Dediu
I extend a heartfelt thank you to all 831 backers of my first Kickstarter financed book project. Thanks to you not only will there be a way to refer to and cite the podcasts but, since the project reached 980% of its target, the project allows me to explore new means of publishing and content production.
Clay Christensen said that a disruptor should be patient for growth but hungry for profit. The Asymco experiment is continuing and is staying true to this principle.

I'd add that I am learning invaluable lessons for my own business thanks to your insights.

Why not do an enhanced version with iBooks Author? People pay extra for a print version because it'll look better than a crappy ePub. They might pay even more for something better than print. You, of anyone, would see the benefit of some interactive diagrams, galleries, etc, right?

Sounds like a good idea.

I sponsored the project in hopes that it would create a historical artifact that could be easily translated to other languages. Ive taken so much from your work that I felt obligated to give back so others could experience it. Keep up the great work.

May be even some snippets of original discussion in audio clips alongside relevant text?

This is what I get for forgetting to tune in for a while. Sorry I missed your Kickstarter campaign. Would have contributed.
