Crowdfunding: Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and Ecommerce with CrowdCrux | Crowdfunding Demystified

You might not know it, but regulation crowdfunding is changing the industry!

You no longer need to persuade a few investors to launch your innovative startup. Instead, you can involve the crowd to help you out and raise funds.

And today’s guest is living proof!

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to Sue, who raised a whopping $162,580 for her company, NETZRO, which developed state-of-the-art food tech that produces nutritious, upscaled ingredients at scale.

During the episode, Sue talks about:

  • The journey from an idea to a successful WeFunder campaign
  • How WeFunder is removing the middleman
  • The challenges & benefits of growing a startup

But it wasn’t smooth sailing for her. Before her WeFunder campaign, she struggled to find an investor who would take her seriously. Nonetheless, she put in the work and blew past her fundraising goal!

You can do that too; all you have to do is learn how Reg CF works and take action. While the road might be difficult, the rewards will be worth it!

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

When you’re listening to any of our podcast episodes, you might reach this conclusion:

“These people’s stories are extremely encouraging, but I can never be them.”

And that’s the wrong way to think! It doesn’t matter if you feel you aren’t smart enough; you can have just as much crowdfunding success as anyone else.

Today’s guest is the perfect example.

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to Kate, who raised a whopping $1,328,699 for TheWMarketplace. It’s the only eCommerce platform that sells women-owned products and services.

While you listen to this episode, you’ll gain knowledge about:

  • The secrets to running a successful startup
  • Insight & tips for preparing your WeFunder campaign
  • So much more!

And here’s the thing: Kate didn’t come from a wealthy family or even have a college degree before 2018.

So, instead of having self-limiting beliefs, ask “why not me?” and take action. If Kate did it, then you can as well.

All you need to do is learn the right strategies, and you’ll reach seven-figure funding. And with the knowledge gained from this episode, you’ll have a bigger chance of success.

So take out your notebook, and enjoy your listen.
