What is the one thing that all successful founders have in common?
They have a very strong vision (and often quirky habits, apparently).
In today’s show, we explore how an incredible startup has managed to share its vision with so many people and raise over $9 million to bring their products to the world!
So many of his later investors were actually the people who bought his product in the first place.
So, in today’s episode of the Demystified Crowdfunding podcast, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman speak to the co-founder John Wu about the things he and his team have done behind the scenes to unlock this success and grow Gryphon, a startup for intelligent online protection.
John’s own story started with a problem: the struggle to protect his child online. So he came up with a solution and launched a campaign that had mild success on Kickstarter.
Several years, a few funding rounds, and a Republic campaign later, they have raised over $9 million overall through seed investment, Kickstarter and Republic, and are delivering a product that brings value to people’s lives!
John shares the things that helped him and his team achieve this, including the steps that you need to go through to create a highly impactful offer that people will actually want to invest in.
You’re going to love this story! We surely did!
