re: Chicago hipster beats expectations, raises 645% of Kickstarter goal, burns books

I'm currently working with an investment banker who runs an online site for business funding that I got connected with through a social media site I paid to use that links to bankers and angel investors.

I ran a search on them and they've funded projects of up to 15 million dollars worth. (I need at least 1.3 million but the goal is 1.7).

We have many interested investors and that may lead somewhere, but I'm in need of 500k to by a certain deadline in order to obtain the property I want. The crowd funding thing sounds like a good option to raise some of that money if there is a place that exists to do it for businesses. Kickstarter seems like it's just for small projects or technological ideas.
