Has XPRIZE considered teaming up with Kickstarter to micro-fund a prize?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but traditionally XPRIZEs have had one or a small number of large corporate/individual sponsors. Are you open to creating a derivative brand that leverages crowd-sourcing to build large prizes? (E.g. no more than $10,000 donations to that prize -- the Kickstarter limit)

I have a strong hunch that we could build enough buzz to do it.

I was thinking a $20,000,000 space elevator prize (40x the 2006 prize you created) but defer to you on what you think would be the right candidate.

Where do I go to learn more about how you'll be co-funding prizes through KS and IG?
