Bicycle design to Kickstarter?

The more I’ve been looking at Kickstarter, the more I agree with the above sentiment. Building a bike company isn’t something that $10K will do. We’re talking at least a quarter of a million with well over $150K just in molds, not to mention inventory. When you’re dealing with carbon-fiber, the entry fee to get into the market is very high as compared to hand-crafting a welded steel frame. If I hadn’t sunk everything I had into Cerevellum, I’d have enough to fund the venture myself. Darn.
