Im glad you improved upon the perks but that is still too little im afraid.
I didnt want to be overly critical right off the bat and i wanted to wait and see how this would turn out.
It basically turned out as i expected.
The problem you have is that the campaign was very poorly thought out.
The marketing team did an extremely poor job of understanding what the targeted market segment for Utopian is, and when you dont understand who your target audience is then its clear that you will not understand how to attract their attention, what their needs are or how to get them to support the project.
The thing is that no matter how amazing people might think Utopian is... the ecosystem is such that you cannot rely on "charity" for funding. Especially when the prices are so low.
Ask yourself why SteemMonsters had such a successful crowdfund?
The best you can hope for right now, imo, is if some charitable whale drops a few thousand dollars for some "reputation". (I would target the vanity of a few whales that are known to show off the depth of their pocket.)
In the future, if you repeat this campaign, the first questions you should ask yourself is:
Is the person giving us money getting something he perceives as having equal value in return and is there a demand for what wer offering.
If the answer is:
Well they get to feel nice for helping us...
Then your campaign will fail.
To end this off... Create a token and do what SteemHunt did. Shouldnt be hard to create a token economy for Utopian.
Utopian is a superior project to SteemHunt and the only obstacle i see existing is if you decided to claim some kind of moral highground and not do a ICO, IEO.
Thats really the only way for you to get a significant sum to fund your project.
Good luck.
