#2Thanks for sharing this, I'm hoping it gets some traction on HN. It seems like a great place to not only vet your idea but to also build a diverse goal-oriented team and I look forward to posting my side-projects on it.
I'd also recommend cross-posting it over on ProductHunt and BetaList.

I'm not the creator but I think I can answer this.
With Kickstarter you are trying to raise funds usually in exchange for a product or aesthetic cause. With Crowdsourcer you are actually trying to acquire the talent to launch a software project.

Hey Yodon, here's a list:
1. You don't have to do a massive marketing campaign to raise finance, because you're not raising finance.
2. It's not an everything or nothing roll of the dice.
3. You don't even need to raise finance - the investment of expertise and time by you and your contributors should remove most (most) of what you'd normally spend money on.
4. You don't have take on any financial risk - the risk comes to you and your fellow contributors in the form of wasted time if your product flops.
5. You get help actually building your product - from contributors who you find or find you.
6. It creates an equitable payment structure where you and controbutors get paid based on how much everyone contributes.
Hope this helps to explain the concept a little better.
There's a video here which explains it well I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHHvJzUGpCM

Hey, thank you kindly for this. I hope so too! I need to do a relaunch on Product hunt actually, did one a while ago and it kind of flopped. Need to get into that routine of constantly launching (rather than doing just one big launch.)
If you ever do decide to post a project on there, get in touch and I can try to help out where I can.

I threw together a quick ProductHunt profile which you should be able to update by logging in with your Twitter profile.

#10How do you (or who does) quantify a "a fair share of the profits based on their contribution" ?
