T-shirt investment
Anyone who knows me knows I have an affection for Threadless.com t-shirts. Their user submitted and voted on design system has been extremely successful for them and I have a closet full of the shirts to prove it. There is a new young startup trying to get into this game though. Enter Cameesa.com a site where users vote with their money.
Like Threadless, Cameesa gets it's designs submitted by designers who create accounts on the site. Instead of a simple voting system however, Cameesa let's it's users invest in designs. Say you like one of the designs looking for support. You invest a minimum of $20 to buy a share in the design. You can buy as many of the shares as you want up until all the shares are sold (I can't remember how many shares each design gets). Once the design has 100% support it goes to print. For being a supporter you get a first run print of the shirt with free delivery. You also get a percentage, based on the number of shares you purchased, from every future sale of that design.
Go buy this shirt, it's the one I supported and it just went to print:
