Kickstarter--no search bar?

[iris lily]

I wanted to poke around Kickstarter to see if anyone was doing anything with plant breeding and development.

I couldn't find any way to do a keyword search on that site, the only search screen I found allows you to search a broad topic area and then narrow that to a geographic area.That seems fairly stupid and useless to me but maybe I'm missing something.

There is no topic area for "biological" sciences anyway, just "technology."

Comments?

It was my understanding that Kickstarter does read each proposal and doesn't automatically let one put up a project. In the link above they do indicate they are not scientists and as business people are probably erring on the side of caution regarding "biological" sciences projects.

Maybe https://www.indiegogo.com has what you are looking for?

thank you Dhiana, I did find a few plant-based projects on Indiegogo including one guy who wants to breed florescent marijuana plants.

I just wanted to see what ideas were out there tied to plants. Most were silly, a few were ok.
