It seems that even though kickstarter will not fund companies (only "projects") this is an example of how a company could spin off a stealth division to organize around a project to get it funded and to prove the market and pre-sell.

The founder (Julie Uhrman) has nice credentials but is described as a "digital media executive":

Added: And at least on linkedin ouya is presented as a company and it appears from here background that that is what she is building.
