Event Details

 

Crowdfunding is a great way to jumpstart and market your food startup projects--but only if it’s done well. Close to 60% of all crowdfunding campaigns fail. There is a science to running a successful campaign and it all starts with preparation, before you even click the start button.

Lisa Q. Fetterman, Forbes 30 Under 30, has raised over $1.3 million through two Kickstarter campaigns for her sous vide startup, Nomiku, and she wants to help you succeed.

This one-day bootcamp will teach you everything you need to launch a kick-ass crowdfunding campaign, from planning and creating buzz before you launch, to learning how to keep momentum strong in backer growth, to immediate post-Kickstarter logistics.
