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

Regulation crowdfunding is great for two things.

First, it helps you get seed capital for your dream business. That can be anything from a couple of thousand dollars to millions if you’re lucky enough.

However, apart from funding, you can use this money to do more. For example, you can build a cool product or something that changes the world.

And today’s guest is an excellent example of that!

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to Jim, the CFO of Alpine-X. His team raised a jaw-dropping $1.38M for the company, which aims to make snowsports more accessible for everybody in North America.

And instead of going the usual route of finding funding on WeFunder, he used an alternative platform called Republic, which allows campaigns to gather investors rather than backers.

During your listen, you’ll hear Jim talk about:

  • Why people enjoy crowdfunding campaigns
  • Tips for getting the word out about your campaign
  • Why you should go with Republic to fund your business

So if you’ve ever been on the fence about starting your own crowdfunding campaign, then listening to this is a must. Not only will you get some motivation for creating your own, but you’ll also get some insight that increases your chances of success.

So take out your notebook, and enjoy your listen!

Here’s the thing:

Whatever you think about Kickstarter, getting 100% funded is realistic. That’s because success has nothing to do with luck. Instead, all you need is hard work and a formula to follow.

And today’s guest is an excellent example.

During your listen, you’ll hear Dale speak about:

  • Secrets for creating a high-converting Kickstarter campaign
  • The difference between a dreamer and a successful Kickstarter
  • The best niches for effective campaigns

Do you know what the best part of Kickstarter is?

It’s the fact that apart from reaching your funding goal, you get to grow an audience. And if you fulfill your campaign’s promises, you can use the audience again to fund another project.

He was able to grow a mind-blowing $730,000 for his latest board game, Earth. During the episode, you’ll hear Conor talk about:

  • How Kickstarter has changed over the years
  • Kickstarter stretch goals explained
  • How to approach your first Kickstarter

So if you’ve ever been on the fence about starting your first Kickstarter, then listening to this is a must. Conor started out running a construction management company and is now working on his tabletop game company full-time!

So take out your notebook, and enjoy your listen!
