Republic[1] kind of approaches this problem, but from a crowdsourced investor point-of-view. The funders don't necessarily have to be founders as well. There is a great incentive to join a community based bootstraping. I think the situation here is that gamification is a tool for collaboration or measurable value, which is a black-box. This is filling a gap for early stage founders that couldnt be achieved with IH. The breaking point might appear when there is a clear disparity between well performing startups and misaligned incentives, ie startups with different KPIs underperforming.
