Has this ever happened to you? You’ve just thought of a brilliant business idea that is going to change the world. You go to your closest friends and relatives and tell them about your idea, and they say, “You’re crazy!” That demotivates you to take action, and then after some time, you see someone else making millions off the same idea! What if you had just ignored what they said and moved forward, nonetheless? What would your life look like now? Well, in this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you get to hear from someone who has been in that exact position. You’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to Dan, the CEO of DRONEDEK, which offers drone package delivery straight to your doorstep. He’ll tell you the complete journey of turning his idea into reality. You’ll also get insight into how his team was able to raise a gigantic sum of $3,477,197 with WeFunder. So if you’ve been called crazy for your ideas, then listening to this is a must! And remember, Steve Jobs once said in a speech: “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” Resources and Tools Mentioned on the Show

Crowdfunding has changed the game! No longer do you need to be highly frugal for many years to get enough money for a chance to create a successful business. All you need to do is register for a crowdfunding platform and get people talking about your product. And the best part? You can get funding for any idea, no matter your location. That can all happen faster than you think. Just imagine this scenario: You launch your campaign before bed, and the very next day, you wake up to a fully-funded campaign. That would feel amazing, right? Well, that’s basically what happened to today’s guest (except the sleeping part). In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to Artur about how he was able to fully fund his AI-powered software, Never Ending Dungeon, in just seven hours.

One of the biggest misconceptions about crowdfunding is that it’s only for launching your business. While that’s one of the best strategies, you can use crowdfunding platforms for other purposes, as well. For example, you can use them to launch new products to an entirely new market. That’s exactly what Four Horsemen Studios did with their campaign. In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to Tony about how he and his team were able to get $281,114 to launch a new product to a brand new audience. Four Horsemen Studios is a company that started out by creating action figures. However, after some time, they wanted to expand their business to new horizons. This led them to build their first video game, Mythic Legions Tactics. Tony talks about the complete journey, from the video game’s beginning stages to the project’s exponential growth as interest rose. I’d highly recommend you listen to this episode if you’re looking to expand your business to new markets or just want to build a video game development company. You’ll get many valuable nuggets of information. So take out your notebook, and enjoy listening. Resources and Tools Mentioned on the Show

You might be thinking, “Why me?” “Why should I launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund a project I don’t know a lot about? With so many more qualified people, there is no chance for me!” That’s where you’re wrong. Many unqualified people have achieved something extraordinary. Take the Wright brothers, for example. They were the first to build a flying airplane. Yet, they had no advanced degrees or support. Even though the odds were against them, they did it. And the same applies to today’s guest! In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to a Kickstarter mega-success, Dr. Victor Henning, about how he was able to make Fjorden, a phone case that gives you DSLR-like camera controls for your iPhone. Just like the Wright brothers, he didn’t have prior experience with making tech gadgets. Despite that, he made Fjorden into reality and raised $507,389 with his first campaign.

Marketing is the oxygen of every successful crowdfunding campaign. Without it, no creator can convert strangers into pledgers, and without pledgers, you won’t be able to launch your project.

That’s over five times their initial goal. You’ll also hear some invaluable marketing tips. For example, El will tell you how they used influencers to boost their backers. Plus, she reveals their secret tactic to get 4,000 backers before launching their Kickstarter campaign. If you’ve wanted to get fully funded and make your board game idea into a reality, then this episode is a must-listen for you.

Each one of us has thought of a fantastic business idea. So great, in fact, that you believe it could make you thousands, if not millions! But then comes the killer of every opportunity - the excuses. You’ll excuse yourself out of action due to not having enough money or time to start this business venture. Here’s the thing! You’ll never feel completely ready! Fortunately, you don’t need to! For example, Matthew Mead built an innovative company called Hempitecture which he started as an undergraduate college student in his dorm room. He has crowdfunded an impressive $3,429,905 on Wefunder. But that’s not the most amazing part! He achieved it with only 1,220 investors. That means that the average investor invested over 2,000 dollars. In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified podcast hosted by Salvador Briggman, Matthew will tell you the secret tactics to building a Wefunder campaign. This includes all the boring legal stuff and exciting things like his marketing strategies. So what’s stopping you? Grab pen and paper, and take action, or you’ll miss the opportunity.

Sometimes catchy ads aren’t the best for your crowdfunding goals. A paid advertisement can jumpstart your Kickstarter campaign, but only if you play your cards right.

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear about Frank West’s mega-success story and how he was able to collect a jaw-dropping $1,408,300 for his competitive card-drafting and cat-placement board game called “The Isle of Cats”.

Here’s the deal — equity crowdfunding platforms such as WeFunder are taking over the entrepreneurial landscape. In 2020, the industry saw 105% growth, raising $214.9M in seed funding in exchange for equity from the crowd. And WeFunder was responsible for about a third of all money raised with $70.9M. Equity crowdfunding isn’t going away. 2021 is on pace to shatter the industry records set in 2020. If you’re not on the equity train yet, it’s time you hopped on! Today’s podcast episode is especially exciting because I’m talking with the creators of a seven-figure WeFunder campaign in Black Sands — a company that is breaking decades of marginalization in the entertainment industry through highlighting underserved voices. Any time a campaign pulls in a million bucks, there are major insights to be discovered.

And then, when we check in again, they haven't done anything.
This is unfortunate, but it doesn't have to happen to you. It's time to get inspired and believe in your abilities so that you can bring all your creative visions to life!
Hope you enjoy.
