kickstarter

I have been going around kickstarter recently

http://www.kickstarter.com/

and i have to say i think it might be a good resource for us. making small batches of tools. or even color/tube. its a pretty cool system. giving a time period that its up. if you raise the money to get it done then its approved and the money is transfered around and the project goes forth. if there isnt enough investors then no money changes hands.

it seams like a good tool for doing group buys/ small runs of tools etc. and also gauge the demand of the product involved.

here is a kinda cool project that would be nice in a booth

what do you guys think?

it`s very ambitioned, but my european view on the us scene tells me that it`s very much possible.

Kickstarter is great for organizing loose groups of people to donate to a fund. Definitely be great for pitching in to have custom tools machined... only problem is that they take 10%.

yea... but i have paid more % wise for less effort to do project managment... as well.
