I really think this is going to bloom in the next few years. A lot of companies have started putting people on this internally ("we want to spend
$xM or xxM on this, where do we put the money?") just in the last year -
this is encouraging, but it sounds more like budgeting for corporate vanity/pr projects (i.e. look at our triple bottom line) than a fundamental change in the economics afaict climate-friendly innovation is going to have to do it better *and* cheaper than status quo solutions

why is there not a Kickstarter for research proposals/grants yet? What dynamic prevents it. Been workshopping the idea around on convo but no one's pointed me at an example yet.

i think a kickstarter model lends itself better to modular, smaller scale projects (gadgets, books, etc.) than high-cost innovation aimed at disrupting entrenched industries & if you’re talking about more of an academic patreon—i worry the market may just be too small
