Don’t let uncertainty keep you from getting ahead.
If you have a revolutionary idea that will ethically impact the world, then you won’t want to miss this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified.
Salvador Briggman is joined by Cody Soodeen, co-founder and CEO of Kara Water. He is also the creative mind behind the Kara Pure, an air-to-water dispenser that extracts humidity from the atmosphere and turns it into mineral-rich drinking water. Even the room you are sitting in can be the source of 20 bottles of pure water every day.
Trained as an architect, Cody now considers himself a designer and problem solver, and this mentality has led him to a $1.3 million crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
In today’s episode, you will discover a wealth of information as Cody explores how to stay ahead of the steep learning curve of starting a first campaign. From overcoming logistical challenges, to why he chose Indiegogo, Cody also emphasizes the importance of being transparent and open-minded with backers as you get your products into the wild.
And he can’t overstate the importance of a solid pre-launch campaign!
On top of everything, Cody has launched a very successful equity campaign on Start Engine that has brought in nearly $350K. He outlines how this differs from your average crowdfunding to build the worth of your company.
Cody’s inspiration came from the Stenocara Gracilipes beetle in the Namib Desert. What will spark your next brilliant idea?
