I like your vision but I do not understand the fundamental proposition here. The creators in the platform are supposed to perform specific tasks to raise money -- That's called "having a job". Essentially the platform is a marketplace to hire part time workers for specific one time tasks. If so, why position it as a campaign to raising funds as if it is some sort of charity.

Is the underlying assumption that creators can charge more on this platform as compared to the usual pay they will get for the same task and in doing so they can raise money faster? If so, I would be highly skeptical of this assumption and validate it rigorously.
