WKS92412: The Art of the Pre-Sale: How to Prototype, Manufacture and Market Yourself Just by Raising Money
Class Number 719-26639
The extraordinary success of Kickstarter projects like Pebble, Printrbot and the Elevation Dock offers an exciting new model for turning your prototype into a mass-market product. According to Massolutions, a market-research firm, forecasts indicate that $2.8 billion will be raised globally in 2012 via crowdfunding, an 87 percent increase from 2011.
Dave Harvilicz, from the crowdfunding website, whenyouwish.com, will be teaching TechShoppers how to plan a crowdfunding campaign and launch a new business. This FREE seminar will take you through all major steps:
Choosing a crowdfunding platform … “What if I don’t reach my goal?”
Creating a killer video … “Is this thing on?”
Promoting your project … “How do I get my project on blogs?”
Order fulfillment … “I have to make 10,000 of these?!”
Legalities, taxes and accounting … “Ugh!”
The JOBS Act … “I want to sell stock”
Incorporating, founders, and shareholders … “Am I an LLC or an S-corp?”
David Harvilicz was an insider on Wall Street and Silicon Valley before founding When You Wish, a crowdsourcing ecosystem dedicated to furthering an “indie capitalism” revolution. His experience as a corporate lawyer, international consultant and startup entrepreneur has given him a unique perspective on law, business and markets. He speaks Russian, German and Brazilian Portuguese -- and is passionate about the financial revolutionary potential of crowdfunding.
