Funding-Work-Revenue cross dependency
To get something created and sustainable you need money and customers, to get customers you need something created. To get something created you need worker. To get funding you need something you're going to create. It's such a vicious cycle that has no obvious opening. If people could get together to create a product, they could all profit in excess of a salary.

I am looking for arrangements that are mutually beneficial to workers and capital owners.
The funny thing about workers is that they pay their own bills AND the bills of the employer (assuming a company is cash flow positive), whereas the employer only puts up an initial set of funding, which gets expired, and they rely on workers for income, so why do capital owners get paid again and again for the same funding but workers don't?
The problem with minimum pay is the Iron Law of Wages is that everything leads to 0 over time. Imagine a flexible pricing system where the pricing is set to set a minimum break even for the supplier
Gitlab 正在归档休眠的 GitLab 项目。 Freshmeat.net 是我用来寻找新开源项目的网站。不幸的是，他们停止更新网站。我们被freshcode.club取代

问题是普遍的。一个人继续为别人做某事，就需要一些回报。免费午餐不会永远持续下去。
Gitlab is archiving dormant GitLab projects. and freshmeat.net was a site I did use for finding new open source projects. Unfortunately they stopped updating the site. And we're replaced by freshcode.club

The problem is universal. For someone to keep doing something for someone else, there needs to be some return. The free lunch doesn't last forever.
在我看来，十字架错过了最关键的一点，那就是时间。为每个项目创建基础都需要时间，可悲的是，它是所有项目中最稀缺的资源。资助者将要求获得 MVP（最小可行产品）的资助。除非您有时间创建 MVP，否则您从一开始就没有机会。只有在 MVP 之后，才能开始循环。
In my opinion the cross missing the most critical point, which is time. Time is required to create a basis for every project and sadly it's the most scarce resource of all. Funders will ask for a MVP (minimum viable product) for funding. Unless you have time to create a MVP you will have no chance from the beginning. And only after MVP the cycle can start.
[thekhan]，嗯，这正是我们想要解决的问题：让人们有一个合乎逻辑的想法，开始研究它，并从它的那一刻起获得资金：
[thekhan], Well, that's exactly the problem that we want to solve: to enable people with an idea, that makes logical sense, to start working on it, and get funded for doing it from the moment when it:
