EP #467 CEO Of Spinn Shares How They Landed $3.9 Million In Startup Funding


Let’s face it, it’s easy to crush an idea, even if it falls into the category of ‘groundbreaking’. 

It is much harder to stick to it and bring it to life. 

Because if you listen to all the naysayers, chances are you’ll just throw in the towel.

You’ve gotta be all in if you want to make it happen, and there’s no better proof than today’s story!

We’ve brought on an entrepreneur and tech executive who was able to raise $3.9 million for an incredible project designed to transform the way we make and drink coffee. 

They moved from the Netherlands to the US to get the project off the ground, got into a startup accelerator program, and eventually decided to do a community round on WeFunder.

Long story short, they’ve built an incredible community, raised $3.9 million to date, and have tens of thousands of people around the world enjoying the project!

Wanna know what went into it all?

In today’s episode of the Crowdfunding Demystified podcast, Salvador Briggman talks to the CEO of Spinn, Roderick de Rode, about the ins and outs of a 7-figure regulation crowdfunding campaign!

They get down to some of the nitty-gritty details of preparing for a community round, like what percentage of backers you should bring to the campaign and why having the right partners is key to unlocking different audiences.

You’ll also hear his insider view on the state of the global venture capital investment market, and why he decided to go with a community round instead of other funding routes.

We hope you enjoy the listen!
