How about Kickstarter as a service [1] (forked off Selfstarter or similar code) itself? They could especially target Kickstarter rejects. 1. Useful for those who cannot (or are too lazy to) code - instant setup. 2. Cut out the middle man and save on the 5% (or $X) fee. Then again, you will still be paying a bit for the service. Thoughts? [1] Transparency which means you are responsible for the project and the provider has no legal obligation whatsoever.

  Neat, just what I had in mind - powered by Stripe. Fee looks a bit steep though.

    It's lower than Kickstarter's (the 5% mentioned doesn't include the Amazon processing fee, iirc).

As I mentioned in other thread, similar crowdfunding scripts are already there. For example http://labs.agriya.com/sfplatform http://labs.agriya.com/sfplatform

  There is a very matured Ruby opensource project out there. https://github.com/danielweinmann/catarse https://github.com/danielweinmann/catarse and a support group https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/catarse-dev https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/catarse-d... AFAIK is has been the alternative solution for people who had very horrible experiences with Paypal's 2 month+ waiting period for transaction procession approvals or with paid scripts like Agriya SF where one has to pay no less than $1000 just to make subtle changes in code or wait for a month to get a response on their forum. Then there is http://ignitiondeck.com/id/ http://ignitiondeck.com/id/ and http://appstorm.com.br/wordpress-crowdfunding-template/ http://appstorm.com.br/wordpress-crowdfunding-template/ and http://siteorigin.com/wordpress-crowd-funding/ http://siteorigin.com/wordpress-crowd-funding/ for wordpress

    I don't know the recent progress in catarse, but when we checked last year, it was just a skeleton. One company I know chose Agriya recently, as it's fairly easy to find programmers.. as it seems to be popular in this segment.. and money wasn't constraint for them as they planned to get big cut from campaign creators.
