Is there such a thing as a small ICO?

Okay, this is less a post, as a drawn out question by me.

Are there such things as very small scale initial coin offerings?
I (as an amateur programmer), would love to fund small projects through this method, but I've never seen or heard of them before. (Not to mention that in the wonderfully free country of the USA, I am legally not allowed to do this without major hoop jumping.)

We all see or hear the major ICOs, but they are raising 10s of millions of dollars at the minimum.

I would be much more interested in investing in small, personal projects that got digitized on the ethereum blockchain.
The "mom and pop" of ICOs to the "wal-mart" that is what we currently see.

So do y'all have any thoughts or ideas on this?
Perhaps I'm missing a forum, or a website where small business initial coin offerings happen?
Please let me know in the comments. :)
