问HN：有没有人成功实现赞助或众筹？
大家好，
我正在进行一个新项目，并考虑替代的融资方式。
之前我创办了一个围绕开源项目的初创公司，得到了企业赞助，还筹集了风险投资等。但我觉得这一切与我的价值观不太一致。我真的努力让它运转，但遇到了很多困难。
我想知道是否有人成功地通过用户赞助或众筹来实现融资？我注意到搜索引擎Kagi声称它完全依靠用户和众筹来支持，最初是由创始人自筹资金。是什么让这样的模式成功呢？

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?
