Desker Achieves 7657% Funding Goal for 'USB Hub Monitor Stand' Crowdfunding Campaign
From December 26 Last Year to January 12 This Year, Approximately 1,166 Participants Raised 76.57 Million KRW in Funding Over About 3 Weeks
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Deskker, a furniture brand for designers and startups under the Persys Group, announced on the 10th that its 'High-Speed Wireless Charging USB Hub Monitor Stand' successfully completed crowdfunding by achieving 7657% of its target.
Deskker conducted crowdfunding for the 'High-Speed Wireless Charging USB Hub Monitor Stand,' optimized for digital device usage environments, for about three weeks from December 26 last year to January 12 this year through 'Wadiz,' the largest crowdfunding platform in Korea.
This funding was a reward-based crowdfunding method where the product is provided to supporters only if 100% of the target amount is achieved. Deskker reached 1000% of the target amount within 9 minutes of the start of funding, with a total of 1,166 participants, achieving a final funding rate of 7657%, amounting to 76,579,500 KRW.
This product is an upgraded version of the existing monitor stand, which gained popularity for its neat design and convenient storage structure, by incorporating high-speed wireless charging and a USB hub. Simply placing a smartphone on the wireless charging area on the left allows charging without cables, and the four USB 3.0 ports enable various devices to be used nearby, providing maximized convenience.
Produced domestically using eco-friendly materials to ensure high quality, Deskker explained that the product was developed to improve the environment for users who usually experience inconvenience due to the inability to use multiple IT devices simultaneously. A Deskker representative said, "The success of Deskker in this Wadiz crowdfunding is the result of consumers recognizing the high trust in the Deskker brand and excellent product quality," adding, "Deskker will continue to strive to develop products optimized for IT environments by considering consumers' product usage patterns and characteristics."
