Wy do you even need 20 grand (or 200 grand lmbo) for your site? Work on it for awhile, develop your skills in cs, make a functional product with actual content (in this phase, it doesn't even matter if its real data, just anything will do) and then shop it around.
People on kickstarter fall into three groups: people with drive and skills to finish a directed project and are hampered by material means, people with drive and a directed project but who are lacking in some crucial area that will prevent their project from ever seeing the light of day, and arrogant "ideas people" who think that their limited skills are enough to push through some half-baked fever dream of a project and who think money is they key to making up for a dearth of skills and/or motivation. You are currently sitting in the third category, which you ignominiously share with that cracked out lottery winner who wanted to make an mmo, but with polygamy and furry bullshit and something about "player control". You fail to see why no one wants to send a single dollar (well, I guess one guy did) to support you, instead posting crazy bipolar (no seriously get back on your meds) rants about your "vision" on a forum full of people who are quite rightfully making GBS threads on you.
If you really think statpedia is a thing people want or need, go do it. I personally think it's a solution in search of a problem, otherwise someone would be doing it already. I think your ego and lack of experience prevents you from finding out whether or not people would use this in the real world because you're not too keen on finding out you were wrong all along. Either way, this has the semblance of a project someone would develop throughout schooling, where you apply ideas learned in classes and work towards the project and, in turn, seek out new avenues of learning ideas you can apply towards it.
In some labyrinthine way, you are actually continuing to seek help here, which is why i bothered to type this up. This is the nicest breakdown of your situation anyone here will give you; if you continue to be a petulant infant about why no one is funding you, I will be the first to mock you. Run immediately back to your hugbox (which is a pretty lovely one because no one it seems to be funding you) and stay there.

holy poo poo i just realized how amazing the kickstarter business model is, it's just a storefront with comments and other social features, they don't guarantee anything and they still take five loving percent. all they have to do is keep everything running smoothly and the only things they have to scale are hosting and quality mods

my ap biology teacher in high school was FREAKING OUT about an article that said that no new biology major freshmen at an ivy league school knew about PGAL and tree growth.

later I understood the reason why:

it's hard to go into a certain subject such as botany and dendrology extensively in a high school biology course because there's so loving much.

especially if you haven't taken chemistry and have to use up a week teaching that.

ugh I wish my ap bio had skipped photosynthesis and all that botany nonsense to explain metabolism more clearly

apparently it costs $10 to make a podcast but $19,990 to make a theme song

these new $10 goal kickstarters have turn KS into indiegogo

someone has already pledged $500 to have them say their name on a podcast

why the hell don't they do this on their website and not have to pay ks a chunk of the donations?
