How to run a successful crowdfunding campaign with Will Dooley

Crowdfunding is a wonderful thing, when it works. It has the potential to launch your new product with a flood of pre-orders that gives you the vital cash that you need to deliver on what you are making.

However, 70% of crowdfunding campaigns fail to reach their target. This week I’m glad to be able to talk to Will Dooley, co-founder of CrowdReach, who has helped run over 200 successful campaigns on Kickstarter and Indiegogo, with over $25m raised.

First we find out how Will and his co-founder were on a very unconventional degree programme in Bristol when the idea for CrowdReach was first conceived.

We then go into detail on the Do’s and Don’ts of successful crowdfunding.
