Majority of makers/founders start small and eventually get BIG! Each founder's path to the startup industry is unique. Let the community hear some of those tales.

The idea is, that you subscribe to a person(builder) and get access to all the products that builder has built or going to be built for free/discounted price (or whatever the terms described). I've seen something like this on Github where developers/organizations sponsor other developers to contribute to open source projects. It is like rewarding the coder for doing the open source community work. There is also a similar like model on patreon where edu-creators create content in several niches and viewers should subscribe to see all those videos. It is more like betting on a person rather than on a specific content/product. What if the same business model was applied on a builder who's building several consumer products? (This may sound stupid, but I'm going to ask anyway) Love to hear your thoughts from the builder's POV and consumer's POV.
