Winner of CES’s Best Startup award in 2014, Denmark's Airtame is a crowdfunded streaming dongle that lets you easily and wirelessly broadcast from your computer to any screen or projector with a HDMI port. It launched on Indiegogo asking for $160,000, but breezed past the target, closing with more than $1.5 million in January 2014.
It hasn’t been clear sailing: Backers responded angrily after the device failed to ship when planned back in October 2014. Investors poured another $1.4 million into the startup earlier this month, however, and 3,000 of the 15,000 Indiegogo orders have been shipped, according to a TechCrunch report. The company now has 17 full-time employees.
