Rationale

GitHub Sponsors directly aligns with the 'Community-Driven Funding Platform' and 'Pitch and Funding Calls' features by providing a platform for financial support to open-source projects and developers. The broader GitHub platform, of which Sponsors is a part, also supports an 'Open Contributor Network' and acts as a 'Blueprint Repository' for code. While GitHub itself is a massive development platform, it doesn't specifically incubate 'bleeding-edge projects' in the same R&D sense as the concept, nor does it focus on 'rapid prototype development' of physical or radical technologies. It's more about software development and collaboration.
