Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste

[JPolen01]

I'm always skeptical of any Kickstarter campaigns, take a loan, make the shit and sell it to me, why do I have to finance you?

Guessing you've never tried to get a small business loan for a product/company that has unproven viability.

I agree with both statements here. Mainly because 99% of kickstarter/indie gogo/etc campaigns I see are for stupid shit that is never going to actually be viable. On the other hand I know it can be difficult to get loans with no proven history. Heard a good story about lending clubs on NPR last week which seems to be how a lot of people get loans to start businesses when they can't get a conventional loan.
