I am surprised more dev/freelancers aren't trying to do this where they get a large inbound list of people willing to pay a small fee (in this case $7500) and their idea to allow developers/designers to not only build a MVP but get some % of the company. It's like pro-bono work but with a initial fee to make sure their is skin in the game. I would have liked to have seen 26|52 do 1 MVP and use it as a casestudy/showcase to prove out the model a bit, but still excited and interested to see what happens. I might even throw my hat in on an idea that I have been kicking around.
