Step-By-Step Guidance On Launching and Promoting Your Equity Crowdfunding Campaign
BUILD YOUR OWN INVESTOR
ARMY AND MAXIMIZE
YOUR RAISE.
THE SITUATION:
You’re a founder.
In other words, you’re really amazing at identifying opportunity and seeing where things can go. You’re probably pretty good at getting things done, recruiting talent and speaking openly on what you’re doing.
Here’s the problem.
You need the capital to make your dreams a reality. Raising capital is a whole new ball game and it doesn’t fit into any of the other categories you’re comfortable in. Do you know the different types of investors? Do you know the “language” they speak?
If you’re already an expert at raising capital, our program is probably not for you.
However, like most early stage founders, if you’re struggling to communicate the vision and capture the attention of the investors you desperately need — keep reading!
Simply put, you don’t know how to:
- Communicate to the Crowdfunding Investor Type..
- Create an attractive and compelling listing..
- Find your ideal investor audience..
- Identify the absolute best advertising strategies..
- Effectively recruit friends and family..
- Create a marketing engine to turn your investors into brand ambassadors..
- Leverage the power of your existing relationships..
And THAT is what we’re going to teach you.. and we walk you through it all together, step by step, custom tailored around your company’s strengths and weaknesses.
Our team has been involved in Equity Crowdfunding before it was officially launched. We’ve helped hundreds of companies market their company and raise millions of dollars.. And unlike any other agency out there, we’ve actually raised money for ourselves too.

Hire him if you’re thinking about launching a crowdfunding campaign!”
