</div>Traditionally yes, but Crowd-Funding is reducing this dependency.<br>
<br>
Crowd-Funding can be thought of as an interest-free loan repaid with product.<br>
<br>
Though the approach I propose is more like Crowd-Ownership since the<br>
micro-investors receive real co-ownership in the Physical Sources<br>
instead of just a one-time payout of the Object(ive)s.<br>
<br>
<br>
In the case where Crowd-Funding cannot meet our needs, we can treat<br>
some non-zero percentage of Profit as Payer Investment while the rest<br>
is used to pay the VC Angels or bankers.<br>
<br>
<br>
I hope we can work on this iteratively, solving small issues such as<br>
this along the way without throwing out the entire approach.<br>
