“If you don’t know who is funding you on day one, don’t launch.”

How Much to Raise?Set a campaign budget, including:- Marketing and administrative
expenses- Rewards fulfillment- Platform fees- Add 10% contingency
The lower the goal you set, the more likely you are to hit it. Start small and have a “stretch” goal!
