The first 48 hours of your crowdfunding campaign are considered the most crucial. Having a strategic plan for your launch day is essential and can ultimately determine whether you will reach your funding goal or not. We’ve teamed up with our friend Chris Livingston from Gravel for an in-depth discussion about how to get funded quickly so you can rank well on the Kickstarter and Indiegogo leaderboards.

Main conversation will be followed by a live Q&A session. Be sure to use the “Ask a Question” feature on this page before and during the livestream.
