Over $1 million for one product has now been raised on Kickstarter. Now Kickstarter is being significant enough to attract scrutiny from the SEC and IRS� and probably more. What are the ways that much larger amounts could be raised "legally" by a grassroots group. Could a nonprofit receive this amount -- believing it's somehow possible -- and donate or invest it in the Good Bank?� or some similarly compelling project or projects? </div><div><br></div><div>Who is pushing the envelope here? </div><div><br></div><div>By the way, check out what <a href="http://www.fastcodesign.com/users/sahil-lavingia">Sahil Lavingia</a> is doing with his new venture <a href="http://Gumroad.com">Gumroad.com</a>. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>David</div></body></html>
