In all honesty I'm not surprised that a 'hedgefund' meets 'kickstarter' hasn't started up for projects, where individual contributors get stock as opposed say a tee shirt. As a result of Occulus Rift. If your target fails the amount raised goes to "hedge-starter". In the event you do succeed ownership of non-voting shares are given to donators, so companies using the server can claim to still maintain ethical integrity.
Obviously there would be legal problems that would need to be worked though.
