Questions

From what I understood once I have filled for a patent, I can't have a public campaign about the product as I have less chances for the patent to be accepted.

There are lot of questions here. First, you got good feedback -- from whom? If from your friends and family, that's worthless. If from a professor or consultant of any sort, that worse than worthless.

The only feedback that is worth anything of course is the market itself. IF the product sells, it's good; if it doesn't, it's no good. Since that makes its chicken and egg issue, the next best feedback is from someone who has sold something similar in the market and has been successful at it. Everyone else is just guessing, at best.

Unless you can say that the feedback you got is from someone else who holds a patent in the same field and has worked for or started company that because very successful selling that. For instance, if I want to sell a new type of soft drink, I would want feedback from someone who has sold new soft drinks successfully in the past few years.

Assuming you have that feedback, and it is positive, then you must consider why a indiegogo campaign? The fact is that most campaigns fail to raise any money at all, much less their targeted goal. To do a successful indiegogo campaigns requires several months of planning and quite a bit of time, effort and money to get the word out. Do you have a marketing plan that will drive at least 10,000 people to your indigogo video?

These are questions I would address before doing either action.
