Conclusion
These rapidly funded lists give great examples of how entrepreneurs can use crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo to raise the capital they need to successfully launch new products, grow their business, and bring in new customers.
These rewards crowdfunding platforms can help you reach small goals or even raise millions without giving away any equity – but you have to be prepared to put in some hard work to make it big. Most of the creators featured in this list have launched previous successful campaigns and already know what works and what doesn’t.
