KickFlow !

Kickstarter Studio !!!!

!So, what’s this all about?

!Let’s help people bootstrap and crowdfund their projects by connecting them with other creators through the KickFlow platform & application.

KickFlow Crowdfunding Project Studio

Why?

INSPIRATION

Online Presence Application allows people to submit their idea and search for collaborators based on skill and location.

Physical Presence To create a quality user base, we’ll first seek out entrepreneurs who have successfully crowdfunded projects. They typically have one of the hard-skills necessary, such as design, web development or industrial design, and are likely looking for a new projects and new collaborators.

There are lots of incredible inventors and ideas in Europe, but they often don't have access to the funding (VC or crowdfunding) or an international customer base. My hope is to have people from all over !Europe and internationally use the application to meet other creators and launch their crowd funding campaigns as fast as possible so people can either fail forward or finish fast. !!It doesn’t necessarily have to be a Kickstarter campaign, but all projects and products would ultimately involve a similar series of steps to prototype, promote and deliver. There are various funding platforms to keep in mind, but the Kickstarter formula seems to be the most effective. !!The key is building on online flow that encourages people to submit their ideas and meet the necessary people to execute the project: designers to create graphics, video filmers and editors to create a video, as well as web developers and industrial designers to create online and physical prototypes. !!

Phase II 30 days: Launch campaign and raise money

!Leverage the network of other inventors on the platform and stagger launches so all inventors succeed their funding goals. Current partnership with The Gadget Flow and KickStudio in London will help get the word out and promote campaigns !
