A Kickstarter donation can get you a lot of things: a free T-shirt, naming rights to a goat, an old Nike sneaker signed — and worn — by the director Spike Lee.
"You can do that all day long," says Colby Coash, a state senator from Lincoln.
But no matter how many days' lunch money you donate to your favorite project on a crowdfunding website, you can't get an ownership share in return. No stock. And no income from your investment, other than the aforementioned goat naming.
