问 HN：有人成功通过赞助或众筹获得资金吗？
1 分•作者: asim•6 个月前
大家好，
我正在进行一个新项目，并考虑其他的资金来源。
此前，我基于一个开源项目创办了一家初创公司，有企业赞助，也获得了风险投资等。但总觉得这与我的价值观不符。我真的努力想让它运作起来，但很艰难。
我想知道是否有人通过用户赞助或众筹取得了成功？我注意到搜索引擎 Kagi 在其创始人通过自筹资金起步后，宣称其完全由用户和众筹提供资金。是什么让这样的模式奏效的呢？

Hey all<p>I'm working on a new project and thinking about alternative funding paths.<p>Previously I founded a startup around an open source project, had a corporate sponsor, raised VC funding, etc. But something about that feels misaligned with my values. I really tried to make it work and struggled.<p>I was wondering if anyone has made sponsorship or crowdfunding from users work? I noticed that Kagi the search engine toots that it's entirely user and crowdfunded after being bootstrapped by it's founder. What made something like this work?
