In just 28 days, we raised over $75,000 from 1000+ backers in return for ZERO equity.

Great course! I learned so much about how to maximize my campaign and avoid pitfalls. The course is a little older now, but most the info is still spot on. Highly recommend.

It was an amazing course and very informative and helpful! It was a bit shallow in parts; I would have liked to cover some topics in more detail (for example, the landing page). Also, most of the ressources/links unfortunately dont exist anymore. Apart from that, I can only recommend this course!
