Kickstarter has nil to do with investment and a lot to do with generating interest. You definitely need to have a compelling idea/product in the first place but some projects generate a lot of interest through Kickstarter. In any case, it's better to get the scoop straight from the source: "Kickstarter is a new form of commerce and patronage."

Many of the the Kickstarter projects are projects that could not get funding outside Kickstarter. For example the DoubleFine project had repeatedly tried to get funding from publishers but failed.
