Take a look at this friends and you'll see the true potential of what crowdfunding can do. I was thinking of this recently and just now discovered how at least one operation is making use of Kickstarter for all their business ventures and new projects and products.
The outfit is called CoolMiniOrNot in Atlanta, Georgia. They bill themselves as both a studio and publisher of great miniature games. They work closely with game creators and indie studios to realize their vision, with a revenue sharing philosophy that is unprecedented in the industry and Kickstarter appears to be their main vehicle.
Look at this track record of successful Kickstarter projects since May 2012. That's only 10 months ago folks!

It's not just individual projects getting off the ground. Crowdfunding has become a way of doing business in and of itself! It's the new financing and marketing model for ANYBODY who can create a project and build a franchise completely independent of anything we know as far as the traditional gatekeepers go.
If there's any doubt about the power and potential and validity of what we're experiencing with this phenomenon take a look at what CollMiniOrNot is doing!
This is the future and the future is NOW !!!
