Of everyone who backed a project in 2012, only around 25% backed more than one. That seems kinda low to me.


Many people are being drawn to a particular project on kickstarter rather than the brand as a whole. Given that it doesn't seem unusual.


It actually seems quite high, assuming participation follows a power law [1] distribution curve.

Take, for example, the recurrence of a given individual's contributions to open source projects - many have not contributed, but I'd bet quite a few only do so once.
