CCP 032: Reimagining The Crowdfunding Valley Of Death

Crush Crowdfunding Podcast

If you’ve ever done crowdfunding for a project you may know what we talk about when we say the “crowdfunding valley of death.” For those of you who are in the pre-launch or in the middle of your crowdfunding- you will, inevitably, experience this “valley of death.” It’s inescapable and so very normal!

There is always that lull after the initial launch where not much is happening and it is very easy to get down or discouraged because of it. However, Nalin believes that there is so much good to be done during this phase. Instead of freaking out, you just need to look at this particular time with a new set of glasses.

In this episode, Nalin gives you those new glasses as well as the tools you need to best utilize your time in the “valley of death.”
