EP #361 This Camera-Lover Raised $507,389 on Kickstarter (As A Beginner) | Fjorden

You might be thinking, “Why me?”

“Why should I launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund a project I don’t know a lot about? With so many more qualified people, there is no chance for me!”

That’s where you’re wrong. Many unqualified people have achieved something extraordinary. 

Take the Wright brothers, for example. They were the first to build a flying airplane. Yet, they had no advanced degrees or support. Even though the odds were against them, they did it.

And the same applies to today’s guest!

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to a Kickstarter mega-success, Dr. Victor Henning, about how he was able to make Fjorden, a phone case that gives you DSLR-like camera controls for your iPhone.

Just like the Wright brothers, he didn’t have prior experience with making tech gadgets. Despite that, he made Fjorden into reality and raised $507,389 with his first campaign.

So instead of asking “Why me?” ask “Why not?” 

And if you’re serious about launching a Kickstarter campaign, then listening to this is a must! It’s both inspiring and educational. So, grab your pen and paper, and enjoy the episode.
