Chris, co-founder at Gravel, here. I'm a serial crowdfunder & have raised $2+ million in crowdfunding dollars across my very own campaigns on Kickstarter & Indiegogo. One of my campaigns, the Explorer PLUS, raised over $1m across Kickstarter & Indiegogo. Others have hit $700k+ raised. I have consulted 100+ companies on crowdfunding strategy & currently run online courses, under the brand Makers Academy, teaching how to design products & launch a successful Kickstarter.
I was on BackerKit's webinar series recently - give this a watch for an idea of who I am & how I think if you'd like:
