Crowdfunding
• Make a prototype: Make a video: File a patent
application.
• Post on internet with pricing, funding goal, and
funding deadline (e.g. 30 – 60 days).
• Promote it: Promote it: Promote it!!!!!
• Take committed orders guaranteed by credit card.
• If you do meet your funding goal by funding
deadline, everyone gets charged, you get $, you
make and deliver the product.
• If you don’t meet your funding goal, no one gets
charged, you cry in your beer, and it’s back to the
drawing board.
Example:
What Does it Take to be Successful?
• Planning & Preparation – perhaps for a year
• Prototype made
• Production facilities lined up
• Video – good but not too good
• Business plan – break even, make money on licensing
• Media coverage
• Social Network – blogs/forums/moderators
• Commercial – Gizmodo/Techcrunch /FastCompany/Huffpost /NYT
• Wide range of award offerings ($1 to $1,000) with good rewards
• Cool Factor – Inspiration Factor – Public Service Factor
• Already be successful
• If at first you don’t succeed, try try again.
