Ouch! Not entirely unexpected of course, there are many inexperienced people who try to get something going, and get experienced the hard way. I wonder sometimes if Kickstarter and Indiegogo are training a new breed of entrepreneur or con artists.<p>What I haven't seen too much of yet, but expect to, is something that is a cross between Quirky and Kickstarter where a company with product development expertise runs 'kickstarters' as essentially a way to schedule excess factory capacity. Given a couple of designers you could have them throw out ideas and if they get funded, then make those. A bit harder to forecast than the current process but it seems like an interesting way to monetize excess capacity.
