Why and how to launch a new product on KickStarter? Listen to this conversation with Aurora Winter, MBA on the podcast Your Intended Message. We discuss how she is launching her fantasy book series. https://lnkd.in/gWWH6CBU #fundraising #productlaunch #bookselling #promotion 🗣️ Quotes this conversation with Aurora Winter "Kickstarter is distinct from other crowdfunding platforms. It's not like GoFundMe. It's more, "I have this exciting idea, and I would really like to give you the opportunity exclusively to get this hot off the press."" "Plan early. I've been on a number of podcasts, so for example, I'm on your podcast right now, and this is going to be released while my Kickstarter is live." "You build connections by investing in other projects. So I've invested in 20 some odd projects before doing the Kickstarter, which is part of the learning, but it's also part of the connection." "What impressed me is that one needs to have a good plan and a good follow through. And I like the concept of market testing that, in itself, could be attractive enough to attract one to participate." Check the current launch of her book on KickStarter open till July 16 https://lnkd.in/g5ZkBDfG

Traction vs. vision? Is early-stage investing about rational decision-making, or is it simply a taste preference? 🎙️ As FIRSTPICK is closing the round of applications for its €100K program the questions are particularly relevant. It's also some of the things Yrjö and I asked Jone 6 months ago during our podcast.
