I'm pretty sure the RISC-V stuff that Hennessy and Patterson talked about during their Turing Award ceremony said they had done ASICs for $14,000 for lots of 100. So $140 per ASIC (I don't know what kind of packaging that is, but you'd guess it would be regular chips for some kind of socket type).
That is well in range of Kickstarter projects...
