This company has launched not one, but two successful Kickstarter campaigns for SmartHalo and SmartHalo 2.

Their first project launched on Kickstarter in 2015 and raised CA$ 538,723 from more than 3,000 backers. This was an incredible crowdfunding success.

Then, they took everything they learned and applied this to their next launch for the SmartHalo 2, which ended up raising CA$ 1,699,530 from more than TEN THOUSAND backers.
