I've written and thought a lot about the need for a platform that enables investment in individuals and projects[0], so I'm REALLY happy for any initiatives that look into this. I work on a game engine[1] and am slowly acquiring GitHub sponsors. When I think about these platforms, I think about them relative to the status quo: GitHub sponsors, Patreon, Kickstarter. From what I can tell Moth Minds isn't an investment platform but rather a "generous donor creates a grant program, people apply and get an effective donation" program. I'm left wondering: am I missing anything? How does this differ from someone donating to individuals on GitHub sponsors, Patreon, Kickstarter, etc.? It seems the primary thing is that the donor doesn't need to find individuals to sponsor (which is great) but not the massive game changer I hope to see in our future. That said, still very interesting work Molly-thank you for exploring this! I wish more people were thinking about this! [0] https://devlog.hexops.com/2021/terrifying-parallels-between-...
