Kickstarter fairly well-known and popular. I will not describe it.
Kickstarter helps artists, musicians, filmmakers, designers, and other creators find the resources and support they need to make their ideas a reality. To date, tens of thousands of creative projects - big and small - have come to life with the support of the Kickstarter community. - https://www.kickstarter.com/about?ref=nav
BUT!
The same does Steemit and it's one of the advantages Steemit.
Steemit can actually finance projects. If the projects do deserve attention.
I think it's a good idea!
SteemStarter!
I was recently thinking about this same exact idea. It would be an extremely amazing platform. Doing the same thing that kick starter already but with letting the people decide which platforms actually deserve financing. Meaning you would be able to get rid of all the scammers who don't deserve money.

Great idea. But in a way, doesn't every single post here on Steemit work like a crowdfunding endeavor? At least it could if you fashioned it that way. Members get to support whatever you say. I suppose there's a difference between Steemit and STEEM though.

This idea should be to think out, but the decision may turn out very original.

It would be very attractive for the dev team to make an actual crowdfunding platform for STEEM/Steemit though. The OP's idea is a good one.

StartJoin exists, but sucks compared to the SteemStarter idea potential.
