The document summarizes and compares the crowdfunding campaigns of two projects - H2O Underwater Portraits and BioLite FirePit. The H2O campaign had a goal of $9,500 but only raised $5. It failed likely due to a lack of clear goals, no explanation of the idea, and weak calls to action in the rewards. In contrast, the BioLite campaign was highly successful, raising over $2 million against a goal of $100,000. Factors in its success included a high-quality video showing the product, a clear description of the pain point and solution, and use of compelling language in the rewards to encourage contributions.
