"We polled our users and asked them what they would be willing do donate and the average was twenty seven dollars"

I wouldn't make any assumptions based on what user's say they are willing to pay. Don't ask them how much they would pay; ask them for money. You will get very different results.



Yes.. if you've ever built anything you'll notice two things:

1. You can't build anything without user feedback.

2. You can't always trust user feedback. Something measurable is important.

I've also never personally launched a crowdfunding campaign in this manner so I'm trying to put together as many data points as possible.
