I'm in the crowdfunding business, so I feel strange saying this, but I'm really turned off by this model of 'pay us in advance for developing a product that hasn't been market tested or validated,' especially when asking for a sum as large as is $100,000.
What happened to building something and selling it?
According to the campaign page, the need is so great because:
"We're asking for a lot of money, so of course you should know why. $100.000 means paying two people $4166 a month for a year, including all taxes, insurance and other fees."
I suppose people get what they pay for, but I find it insulting to ask me to pay your salary for a year so that you can avoid risk.
If you were truly concerned about online privacy, you'd build it anyway. So is privacy the mission, or the pitch?
