Ok, Bill Gates is giving free money for who develops a better condom: http://gcgh.grandchallenges.org/challenge/develop-next-generation-condom-round-11 http://gcgh.grandchallenges.org/challenge/develop-next-gener... Why does someone need crowdsourcing money? Is it a fraud? Maybe the project criteria for "better" is different than Gate's.

Looks like this project predates the Gates foundation initiative: http://www.mensjournal.com/health-fitness/articles/lelo-hex-condom-the-condom-of-the-future-w209866 http://www.mensjournal.com/health-fitness/articles/lelo-hex-... Lelo is already an established player in sex toys.

  Ok, but why crowdsourcing? Isn't free money better? Maybe they just want the marketing.

    Bingo - both sources are free money, but indiegogo is marketing, plus you get the product in the hands of users.

It's funny the guy who named his company micro-soft is interested in condoms. I looked into the contest and it previously ran for a short time and is not really set up for people who want to make money of the product.
