Kickstarter, Barnraiser + Exo Join Food Crowdfunding Bootcamp Panel

On March 28 in NYC, we’re partnering with Nomiku founder Lisa Q. Fetterman to offer the Crowdfunding for Food Entrepreneurs Bootcamp. This one day intensive course will teach you everything you need to know to launch a kick-ass campaign, from planning and creating buzz before you launch, to learning how to keep momentum strong in backer growth, to immediate post-campaign logistics.

In addition to getting hands-on fundraising templates and tools from a true crowdfunding master, you’ll also get to learn from a rockstar panel of crowdfunding experts and successfully-funded entrepreneurs, including Terry Romero of Kickstarter, Allison Waddell of Barnraiser and Gabi Lewis of Exo.

We want to help you jumpstart and market your food projects, so we’re offering you a spot for $100 off (normally $399) using the code “CFFE″ here. Can’t make it to the Bootcamp? We’re also offering the course online in May. Sign up here to pre-order the e-course for 60% off.
