Key Elements of a Crowdfunding Campaign

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

Successful crowdfunding campaigns share several key elements.

Here are some key points to include in your fundraise campaign:

Clear value proposition -- make clear what your product does and the value it brings.

Story -- tell what problem it solves and the background on how the product came to be.

Key numbers -- use numbers in your story to validate that the product works and customers will pay for it.  Stories tell, numbers sell.

Growth story -- show how sales, team, product, and fundraise are continually making progress.

Cause -- show how your product is part of a greater cause.  

If your product reduces  carbon emissions then use the tagline “help save the planet.”

Social proof -- show customers using the product and include testimonials.

Visuals -- show a picture of the product in the campaign so the investor can see what exactly it is.

You can also use video to show the product in action.

Supporters -- show the supporters you have including customers, partners, suppliers, and others who also believe in the product.

Include these elements in your crowdfunding campaign.


Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Let’s go startup something today.
