Engineers' Kickstarter Project Racks Up $230K For Cold Beer

Think it's hard to raise money for your startup? Well, apparently, you ought to be thinking about combining your passion for cold beer and startups, and Kickstarter. Portland-nbased GrowlerWerks has so far scored $230,000 for its project to create a new, high tech device to keep your beer cold, the uKeg--less than five days after launching their funding campaign on Kickstarter. The startup, which said it was founded by "four Portland beer-loving engineers"--is developing a new gadget to keep a person's beer cool while on the go.
