Forum Overview :: Wall Street Kid :: unfortunately they continue to need some kind of basic management

[quote name="jeep"]I've never given money to a kickstarter since it's a preorder and those are terrible. I know it sounds odd but what's really needed there is a small company that manages the framework of development and the kickstarter fulfillment in return for a tiny cut at both ends (maybe 3%). based on past failures, or just major mistakes we've seen with like project zomboid or something, the service would be something like a cfo and cto for these nublet dev teams: manage money, maintain budget plan, parcel out monthly stipend, track contracts, pay bills on time manage tshirt and other toys shipping track all contact info for backers over the course of years manage communication with the backers (the devs have to communicate contractually at least once a month if not once a week) manage tech infrastructure like git, jira, maybe integration servers when things work they are guided towards a release on every online sales platform when things don't work (that's 65% of the time) and the dev process fails completely (ie no progress for 6 months and they throw in the towel), the service releases the code and assets under gpl and creative commons I guess that's like a very transparent publisher, but we're not taking a massive cut for shareholders here[/quote]
