Manifesting your dreams by raising money with crowdfunding may feel like magic. To the contrary. Running a successful crowdfunding campaign is absolutely not magic.

Crowdfunding requires a lot of planning and a lot of hustle. There are, however, a few tried and true best practices to guide your hustle and help you deliver your magic.

In our fifth episode of Crowdfund with Cat, Brian Meece, the co-founder of crowdfunding platform RocketHub, walks us through the foundational principles of running a successful crowdfunding campaign.

RocketHub was acquired by entrepreneurship resource center EFactor a year ago. Since then, Meece has left and is now pursuing independent projects.
