Question regarding Kickstarter: Can it really be used for commercial projects (or is Pebble not a commercial project?)? Because here http://www.kickstarter.com/help/guidelines it says it is only for "creative projects". I guess it is ok since the term "creative project" is not defined other than that page saying "like making an album, a book, or a work of art." Although later it says "Starting a business, for example, does not qualify as a project." Just trying to understand what can be used on the platform and what can't. Can anyone clarify?


AFAIK you can't sell stocks or shares. So you can't use Kickstarter to raise investment money (in the traditional sense)
