In August 2013, a crowdfunding campaign for a mosquito-blocking, malaria-fighting sticker named Kite Patch went viral. With an initial goal of raising $75,000, the project instead raised $557,254 from 11,254 people and became one of Indiegogo's record-breaking campaigns. 

The company behind the Kite Patch campaign is a southern California-based startup called ieCrowd. However, working to stop mosquitoes isn't ieCrowd's only innovation. Instead the plan is to develop a large range of ambitious solutions to major health problems. Kite is just one of three products that are currently being produced (more on these below).
