Connecting funds with personnel.
An important caveat:
The goal is only attained if there is demand for a project.

"But Kickstarter’s one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t fit every dream, or every
group of dreamers. For starters, the site requires every project to create some
sort of final product, whether it be a physical object or a piece of media or a
performance. This leaves many types of undertakings out in the cold. And even
for projects with deliverables, this one tool can’t possibly foresee all the
different updates and perks, all the different modes of collaboration and reward,
that these communities might want or need.
The essential promise of crowdfunding is that the things we’ve always wished
for—anything we’ve wished for—can become real. So to fulfill that, the market
needs to splinter as it grows. It needs to go niche. In fact, a few of those niches
have already figured that out."
