Starting a business is challenging!

Not only do you need to create a great product idea and find time to work on your business, but you’ll also need the funds to pay for all of the investments. And that could take months, if not years.

If you know the right strategies, you can do this as well!

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to Lopa, who was able to raise over $2.7 million for Rasa, an adaptogenic coffee alternative that energizes without caffeine. 

During the discussion, you’ll hear Lopa talk about:

  • The journey from an idea to a massive Wefunder success
  • Tips for a highly-successful WeFunder campaign
  • The differences between angel investing and crowdfunding

If you’ve ever thought about starting a business, listening to this is a must. Not only will you learn how to create a widely-profitable campaign, but you’ll also learn how to build a business that others care about.

So take out your notebook and enjoy your listen!

Here’s the thing!

No matter how much you prepare for a crowdfunding campaign, you can never guarantee success. And if it’s your first time, then quite likely, your campaign will fail—the money and effort you’ve put in, all for nothing.

This might suck, but you shouldn’t feel bad about yourself. It’s all part of the process. You’ll just have to try the campaign again, and you might find success.

That’s precisely what happened to today’s guest.

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to Brian about his journey to a six-figure Kickstarter for a revolutionary product, Broombi. It’s a silicone smart broom that helps make your cleaning more effortless.

Brian’s first crowdfunding campaign failed, but he was able to attract over a thousand backers and get a staggering $128K of funding on his second try. Quite impressive, right? Well, that’s not all he did.

In addition to the successful Kickstarter campaign, he was also able to land another six-figure funding from Indiegogo. Brian will tell you about:

  • The mistakes he learned from his first Kickstarter
  • How to use both Indiegogo and Kickstarter to fund your project

But that’s not all! You’ll also get an inside look at “As Seen On TV” products and their similarities with crowdfunding.

If you’ve ever failed with a crowdfunding campaign, or you’re looking to start your very first, listening to this is a must. You get a lot of insider tips that will increase the chances of your success.

So grab a pen and a paper, and enjoy your listen.

If you’ve listened to this podcast before, it should come as no surprise that Kickstarter is massive. We’ve shared hundreds of success stories of campaigns that reached six-figure funding—some even seven figures.

However, most people still won’t take action from this opportunity due to the fear of having too niche of a market.

That cannot be further from the truth, and today’s guest will prove it to you.

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to David, a first-time crowdfunder who was able to surpass his funding goal by 10x!

And no, he didn’t sell a tech gadget or a board game. Instead, David joined forces with Coffee Stain Studios to make licensed plushies for the first-person factory-building and open-exploration game, SATISFACTORY.

In the episode, David will reveal:

  • His journey to a 10x funded Kickstarter campaign
  • How to set your funding goal the right way
  • How to work with influencers to boost your Kickstarter campaign
  • And so much more!

So if you’ve ever hesitated to create your very first crowdfunding campaign, then listening to this episode is a must. It proves that your idea can work, no matter how niche the product seems to be.

So grab your pen and paper, and enjoy your listen!
