This is great news. I'm thrilled that Kickstarter was able to do this, that its investors let them, and that the NYT thought it was worth writing up. I hope other companies follow suit, and that an ecosystem can develop of such companies. This page goes into how it is apprently very possible to get investment as a benefit corp: http://benefitcorp.net/investors/who-investing-benefit-corps http://benefitcorp.net/investors/who-investing-benefit-corps Here is principle from Kickstarter's benefit charter: "Kickstarter will not lobby or campaign for public policies unless they align with its mission and values, regardless of possible economic benefits to the company." (the charter https://www.kickstarter.com/charter?ref=pbc_letter https://www.kickstarter.com/charter?ref=pbc_letter also contains those values).
