Uses for a LaaS off the top of my head

- Homeowner Associations - they throw parties and stuff for the kids, there's probably a house or something they can throw it on. I remember one year for halloween someone had "The Great Pumpkin" playing on their garage door.

- Event companies. It's an interesting offering in addition to the standard inflatables and maybe jumbo movie screens. I could see it being a big thing at corporate events and college campuses.

- Student associations. Generally they have some money for this sort of thing so they own it and don't have to rent it. They probably wouldn't fund a kickstarter though because of restrictions on how they can spend their money.

Agreed, I think ideas like these and @pedalpete's hint at making a play commercially lends to packaging this up into a LaaS (ha!) offering and putting a Kickstarter campaign in front of that. Depending on your costs, needs, and some more feedback, you might offer some custom solutions/packages to backers on the higher-end.

+1 on Student associations being restricted. If I'm not mistaken, GSU has these sorts of restrictions [0] - although it couldn't hurt to get some grassroots support that isn't necessarily monetary

0: I did some web development for a student association at GSU and provided some basic tech support for a symposium.

Thank you guys so much for your advice!
