Space nerd checking in: Star Citizen is currently at ~115m[1], DAO reads to be at 16something, from my skim of the article. Additionally, people who get more picky as to what counts as "crowdfunding" sometimes only cite the early kickstarter campaign for SC, but at least "the big number" seems smaller.

Maybe they really meant croudfunding instead of croudfunded? The DAO is supposed to be a decentralized system for managing a fund that invests in other projects.

Me too. DAO is more recent, though. It might be the largest number of backers.
