Our project, a
modular backpack combining a travel duffel and hiking backpack was funded in 3 days! We set a goal of $15,000 and we were happy to achieve that so quickly.
What helped:
-Researching relevant blogs/media, finding contacts and preparing our message for them
-Reaching out to friends and family, as well as relevant user groups
-Doing all this in a coordinated push on launch day.
We are still working on our media coverage which we hope will help with the rest of the campaign but it was awesome to get funded so quickly and while it's far from over yet, it definitely does take a bit of pressure off which is nice.
Have you been funded quickly? Would love to hear your story and tips. If you have any tips for extending the momentum for our campaign of course I'd be all ears as well.
Cheers!
