I've been mulling a Crowdfunding project for a while to make a product I have in mind. It is not a big product, not something 'everyone needs', and it doesn't have enough utility or audience to sustain a company around it. I want to make it, and I want to distribute it, but I don't want to operate a business and I don't want to simply give away the thing I made.

I want an ephemeral business - something that will last long enough that I can make my thing and be done. But I don't want all the overhead of creating a company just to do the darn thing.
