Funding: What is the best way for our company to raise funds? How much can we expect to raise?

Brandon Adams, Founder Keys to the Crowd answered:

In my mind Crowdfunding is the best way to raise funds without giving up anymore equity of your company. With a proven track record of sales and already ready and willing customers, you already have a tribe to promote to. Having already achieved success milestones shows potential backers that you are reliable and have what it takes to fulfill whatever it is you are raising money for.

If you are looking to raise a few hundred thousand or even a million you should plan on spending a minimum of $25,000 on campaign and have at least 12 fulltime members on team to create, launch, and run entire campaign.

I'm about to launch campaign in November and we will have tens of thousands into campaign, have 12 committed members and over 100 Ambassadors involved and our goal is to raise $1,000,000.

Crowdfunding get's more national media attention for your company, allows you to capture another market, and gives you a platform to market off of for life.

Hope this helps!
