Equity crowdfunding is all the rage right now. Wonder why?
With a traditional capital raise, you’ve got only a handful of potential investors who may or may not believe enough in your vision to help you bring it to life.
Then you’ve got equity crowdfunding where pretty much everyone can invest in your idea, for as little as $100.
It allows you to bring people from all over the world together in a common passion.
And once you have this synchronized energy, unbelievable things can happen.
Today’s story is an incredible example of that!
We’re privileged to speak to a serial entrepreneur who has launched successful companies in multiple vertices.
Seven years ago, they channeled all of this energy into one idea: reinventing luxury motor vehicles.
They launched a community round WeFunder and raised $692,421 from the crowd.
What steps did they take to prepare for the campaign?
How did they build strong relationships with investors?
And what would they have done differently if they could go back in time and launch the campaign again?
In this episode of the Crowdfunding Demystified podcast, Salvador Briggman and co-founder of Curtiss Motorcycle, Matt Chambers, delve into all of these questions and more!
You’ll hear what Matt believes is the recipe to his success, including where the whole idea of creating an electric motorcycle came from, why he decided to do a public round, and how he communicates with potential investors on WeFunder.
Most of all, you’ll discover why equity crowdfunding is the hot new thing in the startup world right now.
Doing a community round is not for everyone though, and in this episode, you’re gonna learn why.
