The check and balance you're looking for is traditional capital investment, I think?
Because if all things on Kickstarter clear a bar of "this is a sound business", then those projects probably wouldn't need Kickstarter.
edit: for clarity
- ryandrake 9y agoThat sounds like a generalization. There are probably lots of sound businesses that do not have access to traditional capital investment, and would benefit from being on Kickstarter. Additionally, there are businesses that do not clear a bar of "this is a sound business" that have had heaps of traditional capital investment. We are talking about sets with only some overlap.
