In the case where he has a minimum amount below which he is unwilling to continue development, then I agree a DAC would help raise that amount.
Investment solves the funding problem, it doesn’t solve the problem of making sure you have enough buyers. And if you can’t solve the latter then you might not be able to get investors either (cause they also want to know you have enough buyers). That’s the problem Kickstarter solves, and DACs would solve even better, in addition to funding.
