Ok... but what you described about how traditional investment works is how Kickstarter tells their project-runners to operate. My point was that KS and traditional investment should operate in more or less the same way, especially regarding issues - whether that's simply letting people know they've hit a snag and are working on it, or are asking for advice on the best way to proceed. I realize it's difficult to scale the concept of a seed round to hundreds or thousands of backers, but an email blast to 5-10 is just as easy (or hard) to write as one going to 5000. You just need much better filters on the responses.
