You don’t have to be a savvy engineer to design a product and raise money on Kickstarter.
Today’s podcast guest was able to raise over $400,000 with two successful product-based Kickstarter campaigns, and guess what? He’s not an engineer!
Jake Miller launched his first Kickstarter campaign for the Duo Coffee Steeper in his late twenties. He then went on to develop several more products for his startup, Fellow, which has attracted a slew of raving customers!
Recently, Jake launched a second Kickstarter campaign for Stagg EKG, The Electric Pour-Over Kettle for Coffee Lovers. Thus far, the campaign has raised $216,599 and it still has 45 days to go!
In our interview, Jake shared how crowdfunding has transformed his business and the exact steps that he took to get backers. You’ll even discover why email list segmentation translated into a surge of pledges!
