Patreon is a better fit -- subscription funds from satisfied users. Unfortunately, most users don't pay their own bills, their administrators do. And administrators don't pay for free software -- classic free rider problem. (That's why the grant applications are so important) Over a million dollars to fund math software? Maybe, but not the demographic/popularity mix I would expect to see at KS. KS is for initial funding of a product that will be profitable at steady state. SMC is already launched, but needs more steady-state funding.
