You only get one first impression.So does your crowdfunding campaign.
Make yours worth the pledge.
I’m Arthur Manukyan, Chief Revenue Officer at TCF. I work with product founders planning Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns.
Crowdfunding asks you to make big decisions before you have all the answers. Here you can check your launch assumptions, estimate fees and hear from founders I’ve worked with.
Before you commit to a launch
My work often starts with a founder and a product: who it is for, what is ready to show, and whether the numbers support a crowdfunding launch.
I’ve spent more than eight years working with startups and established brands at TCF. Here, I share the questions I ask in those early conversations and tools to help you work through the numbers.
Questions worth answering
- Who has a reason to buy this product?
- What can you demonstrate today?
- Can you afford to deliver what you promise?
