I continue running into obstacles (largely-but-not-exclusively of an accessibility nature) when it comes to the major crowdfunding websites. It seems not to be just me; the major platforms (Kickstarter/Indiegogo) could stand to be much more screen reader-friendly, and the need for images (and strong urging to use videos) is an obstacle to any blind person seeking funding who doesn't have easy access to sighted allies/minions.
My present thoughts are that I'd rather outsource setting up crowdfunding campaigns to someone for whom these would not be serious obstacles (said manager would probably be compensated with a cut of the funds).
What I don't know is:
Can anyone hereabouts answer one or all of the above? (I am also curious as to whether or not the demand among blind developers/startups/etc mightn't be high enough that "crowdfunding manager for the blind" might not be a profitable side-job for someone with halfway decent marketing skill, but that's not an easy thing to estimate.)
