Kickstarter fairly well-known and popular. I will not describe it.
Kickstarter helps artists, musicians, filmmakers, designers, and other creators find the resources and support they need to make their ideas a reality. To date, tens of thousands of creative projects - big and small - have come to life with the support of the Kickstarter community. - https://www.kickstarter.com/about?ref=nav
BUT!
The same does Steemit and it's one of the advantages Steemit.
Steemit can actually finance projects. If the projects do deserve attention.
I think it's a good idea!
