KickStarter requires that you produce a ‘deliverable’ – which is to say a product that you can send as an premium to backers. WHen I contacted KickStarter to ask about funding the research done in pursuit of FoFu, they said it didn’t comport with their goals & practices.

I think that Indie GoGo is likely a better funding mechanism for pure science,

That said, there may be other crowd-funding means out there that I don’t know about.

Someone on this board needs to win the lottery!
