Crowdfunding is more than just raising money now - it has become a source for pre-sales and an extremely cost-efficient tool to validate your business idea, artwork, invention, book, game, film, or cause.

In addition, planning and running a crowdfunding campaign is one of the most intense experiences you will have. And with solid planning, it can also be the most rewarding. Our team will provide intense training for two days, where you will create a professional campaign with a strong pitch and video during the session. This will be a working session where you will incorporate the essentials of crowdfunding to plan your own campaign.

BONUS: Includes filming of YOUR pitch video at the session (a $500+ value!). Script preparation required before the end of the session. For in-person attendees only.

This session will be interactive and goal-oriented. You will leave with real progress in planning and preparing for your crowdfunding campaign. We will also provide tools to execute a crowdfunding campaign for success.
