So you're ready to harness the power of crowd-funding to get that amazing project of yours off the ground. Smart!
Crowd-funding is a groundbreaking new way to launch your startup, movie, music, or invention, with significant pre-sales, funding, and a loyal and excited user base. However launching a successful campaign requires some serious planning, structured timeline, a killer video, and some very important social sharing triggers.
Far too often projects fail to reach their funding goals - 60% of the times to be exact - because they don't take the time to plan their project and produce a good video.
Don't make that mistake!
Demo Video Lab is a full-day course / workshop designed to help artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators - like yourself - get their projects successfully funded on platforms such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, USA Projects, and others.
This workshop will take you through the main subject areas of crowd-funding:
