Research suggests that companies financed through crowdfunding are often seem by consumers as higher quality and less elitist than products financed through VCs or other more traditional forms of start-up finance. This may explain why Amazon markets a line of Kickstarter financed products. The effect is not universal, however: where safety is an issue, the judgment of ordinary consumers is less valued than the expertise of professional investors.
