SUMMARY:KY Inventors Network: Kickstarter - Pass or Fail
DESCRIPTION:Join us from anywhere via Zoom as we learn and have some fun playing “Kickstarter: Pass or Fail?”. \n\n\n\nBe a part of the process as we look at select videos from Kickstarter and Indiegogo to see if they were a winning campaign or not\, then discuss and see if we can learn from what they did right or wrong. \n\n\n\nAccording to Kickstarter\, a video is by far the best way to get a feel for the emotions\, motivations\, and character of a project. It’s a demonstration of effort and a good predictor of success. Projects with videos succeed at a much higher rate than those without (50% vs. 30%). \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this different\, interesting\, fun and insightful way to learn about crowdsourcing campaigns. \n\n\n\nLearn how to take your idea for a product or business\, the right opportunity\, mix that with the sound entrepreneurial wisdom we teach so you can turn them into real things like products and businesses.
