Question on business / strategy for my "startup" (actually just a side project) in this space.
I was just working on a server side streaming implementation of first-order-model for https://vo.codes
I'm trying to build a 1-stop shop for deep fake memes, and first-order-model and wav2lip are two of the video processing facilities I want to add.
My product pipeline is to add the video tools, a Twitter/Discord bot, and voice conversion (which I have working). I'm hoping to draw enough traffic that I can run a Kickstarter to give me runway to build a client-side real time voice and video conversion app for gamers, Twitch streamers, Discord, etc.
I already have real time voice conversion working, I'm just struggling with the time to do it as this is still in the "side project" phase.
Does anybody think this is a sound strategy? Does Kickstarter work well for product funding? I've demonstrated lots of interest (millions of uses of vo.codes, and growing), but my marketing strategy is still weak. How can I fix this?
