Kickstarter and crowdfunding are a great next step. When it's not just rich old guys picking which projects get funded you get Oculus and an entire new VR industry, created by a unpedigreed outsider that no investor would have given the time of day to. The real shift will come when crowdfunding for equity is possible. When not just rich investors will be able to benefit from the massive wealth creation of technology companies. It may be that regular people are willing and able to fund as many viable projects as exist.
