American Crowdfunder’s Post

Reflecting on this past week as I blend into the Star Wars-themed wallpaper at Capital Factory a key question that has come up with founders is... "How do I build a successful crowdfunding campaign?" It's a question I love answering. Start with a compelling story. Clear goals. Leverage your network and promote consistently. Keep investors informed and, most importantly, show your passion. Crowdfunding on StartEngine means building a community. Your investors become your biggest fans and promoters. That's how you win support. Ready to harness the power of crowdfunding?

Startup is primarily a money game in the first place! While many of my fellow founders (and I) are struggling to raise a couple of million dollars to fund their teams, some are capturing the trend with hundreds of millions. battling against the titans and their sons! Ps: wanna guess what I am referring to? 🤣 #startup #vc #venturecapital #funding

🚀 Equity crowdfunding is transforming the way startups raise capital! Instead of relying on a few large investors, you can now build a community of supporters who invest small amounts to help you grow. This model is perfect for businesses with a passionate customer base. 💡 See how equity crowdfunding can work for your startup! 👉 Get personalized advice from me at https://ftb.bz/advising on any aspect of your entrepreneurial journey! #Startup #EquityCrowdfunding #Fundraising #Entrepreneurship

Hey friends - please give this a watch! PreRound is a virtual investing gameshow based in CT. I was asked (and honored) to host the 4th ever episode focused on CPG and beverages - we filmed it a few months ago. The full episode, with 3min pitches and Q&A sessions, is airing RIGHT NOW this week at http://www.PreRound.com and you have until this FRIDAY 7/28/24 to INVEST $10,000 in fun “pre-money” in ththe three brands. If you peg your investments closest to the full viewership investments and/or give the best feedback to the brands - you can win some sweet, sweet prizes! The show will announce this winning brands and investors this weekend. Thank you to the three great brands and their passionate founders for participating and delving into ALL THE WEEDS of their business, struggles, and plans, etc - MāKā (Living MaKa P.B.C.) (Brian Hill), 88 Coffee Company (Hong Ngo), and Zenjoy (Mack Anderson). They were all awesome and these investment decisions are not easy! The PreRound Startup Gameshow is also a startup itself and is filmed and produced on a very lean budget; ie it by no means has the production value or Mark Cuban star quality of Shark Tank. BUT, it's a really great concept and a much more reality-based look at how startup / CPG brands pitch, the struggles they are going through and need for money, and how they can compete in the marketplace - plus we keep it positive and fun (sometimes Shark Tank is just mean). If you have suggestions for improvement or think the Pre app or the Gameshow format could work for an event or group you are involved with, please let me know and I will connect you with the founder - Sarbjeet Singh Rayat. Lastly, this was my first time reading from a teleprompter (in the opening and bridge pieces; the Q&A questions were mine) and hosting a show like this. I am proud of my performance and my curly hair, but I am going to request a TV host training session with Carson Daily; we'll see what he says (ha). It was fun to do and I love highlighting these great brands in this industry that I love!
