Definitely. Many of the largest crowdfunding campaigns of the past year have been self-powered (see Soylent, Tile, Lockitron, Coin, Star Citizen).

This campaign for Lammily is powered by our open source tool CrowdtiltOpen (formerly Crowdhoster). We've taken Selfstarter's awesome groundwork and turned it into an end-to-end solution.
