> Kickstarter projects are not allowed to be turned into for-profit companies

Kickstarter is used very much for projects by for-profit companies. Maybe there is some accurate but confusingly presented point behind this, but if so it could definitely use clarified (and perhaps a specific reference to the rule at issue.)

> Can Kickstarter be used to solicit investment or loans?

> Nope. Kickstarter is a new form of commerce and patronage, not a place for investment or lending. You’ll never give up ownership or pay back any funds raised on Kickstarter. Ever.
