As I've understood this whole crowdfunding thing the "starters" who are asking for money are under no obligation to actually provide functional products to the "backers".

They just estimate how much money they are going to need and make best effort and then if they are able to they bring the product to market and give out any units they've managed to sell during the crowdfunding process.

I think even Kickstarter states that it is not a store where you can buy stuff. It's a place where you can fund people to realize their dreams and you might get something out of it at the end.
