This dataset was scrapped from [Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/) to provide an opportunity for enthusiasts to build a success predictor for different projects hosted there
Data here is close enough of what real problems can be like, different problems will be tackled through the building of the model and different trade offs will be explored in hope of achieving better accuracy.
