Crowdfunding that takes no cut of the total
Chuffed charges the campaign nothing and asks the donor for an optional tip instead, so the whole donation reaches the project once the card fee is paid. That model suits causes and community projects, which is most of what is on there. A creator funding a commercial product will find the audience is not looking for one.

Affiliate referrals for crowdfunding
Kickbooster turns backers into affiliates during a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign, tracking their referral links and paying commission once the campaign funds. Running that by hand across a few hundred backers is the problem it exists to remove. Pricing is monthly plus a percentage of the revenue affiliates bring, so a campaign that works pays more.
