**Prefundia is a new site that claims to be able to predict the success of upcoming
product crowdfunding campaigns on Kickstarter.com and IndieGoGo.**

It uses data such as number of social followers, number of page views and conversion
rates to help people and organisations gauge whether their product is likely to 
succeed on a crowdfunding platform.
Here is Mashable.com’s view of the service.

Of course, [Prefundia](http://prefundia.com/) focuses just on products, and is now
expanding to include mobile products and apps. It does not cover charitable or social
good crowdfunding campaigns.

But can you imagine a service that does just that? I can imagine there would be 
plenty of fundraisers who would willingly test campaign ideas and models using a
system like this. Is there such a tool already? If not, I’ll report on it when I
come across it.
