I agree. This is being done currently by the Clojurists Together organization. They fund 4 open source Clojure projects per quarter, and based on the desires of their members (anyone who pays into it), I think they fund 50% established projects and 50% speculative.

Hey! Secretary for Clojurists Together Foundation here. This is roughly correct. It's not a strict 50/50 split from quarter to quarter as it depends on applications and what our members are looking for, but we try to fund a mix of established and experimental projects.
This quarter we funded Calva and clj-kondo which are more established, and O'Doyle Rules and ClojisR which are more experimental.
