We have been providing our business consultancy for entrepreneurs for seven years so far and we have helped many startups to raise the money needed to start their startups.
What we also do at Skyson Capital is help startup founders choose the best methods to raise the amount of money needed and match them with suitable funding sources including matching entrepreneurs with angel investors and helping them get VC funding in addition to helping them get startup business loans and startup grants or guide them to raise money from a crowdfunding campaign.
After defining that crowdfunding is the suitable funding source for your startup, we provide you with our business assistance to raise the money needed.
Skyson Capital has managed to overcome the biggest challenges that entrepreneurs face when they want to raise money through crowdfunding. Many entrepreneurs have failed to raise money by crowdfunding because they choose the wrong crowdfunding platform that doesn’t meet what they are looking for.
On the other hand, with our help, you will be able to raise money through a suitable platform because we make different analyses before choosing the right platform.
We start with defining the potential platforms that meet your needs and then analyze each platform from different perspectives including the number of visitors that this platform attracts, and the type of them. In addition to that, we calculate the costs needed for running the campaign and take into consideration the term and conditions for each platform.
Another challenge that entrepreneurs face is setting up the wrong time and target which are essential when they need to get money through crowdfunding. But, we can help you overcome this challenge by making our estimation process where we calculate the amount of money that can be collected in a certain time. We make sure to help you set the right target and deadline to raise money through the crowdfunding platform.
2. How Skyson Capital helps Startups in getting funding through Crowdfunding
Skyson Capital provides startups with different services that are targeted to build a successful crowdfunding campaign to achieve their raising capital goals.
2.1 Advising on the right type of crowdfunding for Startups
When starting a startup, it’s important to find the right crowdfunding type for your business. This can be difficult because there are so many different types of crowdfunding campaigns available. The best one for your startup will depend on its specific needs and goals. Choosing the wrong type of crowdfunding can sap some of your funding opportunities before they even have a chance to start – so make sure you have a good understanding of what you need in order to succeed with this option.
We help startups identify the right crowdfunding type through identifying the needed capital amount and assessing how you plan to use the money and the purpose of raising capital. We also take into account your business model and your startup’s industry. We work on assessing different types of crowdfunding and their pros and cons to make sure we identify the best one.
When advising a startup on the best type of crowdfunding to pursue, it is important to consider the following factors:
1. The platform.
2. The campaign goal.
3. The target audience.
4. The reward system.
5. Timing.
6. The funding source.
When selecting a crowdfunding platform, it is important to consider the type of campaign that will be run. There are three main types of campaigns: donation-based, equity-based, and hybrid campaigns. Donation-based campaigns are the simplest and most common type of campaign, in which backers donate money to support a project. Equity-based campaigns are similar to donation-based campaigns, but backers contribute money in return for shares of the company. Hybrid campaigns combine donation-based and equity-based campaigns, in which backers contribute money to support a project, but also have the opportunity to purchase shares of the company at a later date.
When deciding on a campaign goal, it is important to consider how much money is needed to fund the project and what type of audience will be interested in supporting the campaign. A campaign goal that is too high or too low may not be successful. A good goal is one that is challenging but achievable, and that will appeal to the target audience. Check out how we help startups in setting their crowdfunding campaign goals and determine the amount to raise through our planning for raising capital service.
When selecting a target audience, it is important to consider how passionate the audience is about the project. An audience that is passionate about a project is more likely to donate money, volunteer time, or spread the word about the campaign. It is also important to consider what type of campaign message will resonate with the target audience.
Quick Tip
There are a few things you need to know in order to choose the right crowdfunding platform for your startup. First, it is important to compare different platforms to see which one may be best suited for your specific business. Next, look at the different types of crowdfunding available on each platform. Finally, make sure that the campaign you select has the correct funding options and features.
2.2 Identifying the right crowdfunding platform for Startups
There are a few different types of crowdfunding platforms that can be used to raise money for various projects. Some popular platforms include Kickstarter and Indiegogo. The most important thing to consider when choosing a platform is what type of project you are hoping to start fundraising for. One other thing to keep in mind when choosing a crowdfunding platform is how much money they want to raise. Some platforms only require a small amount of money up front, while others will require larger donations over time. It is important to research each platform in order to find the right fit for your project.
Through the Raise Capital program, our team helps you identify the right crowdfunding platform for your startup through researching the most popular platforms and assessing their terms and requirements to make sure they align with your goals.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to crowdfunding platforms. Which one is right for your startup?
The answer largely depends on the type of startup you are, the amount of money you need, and the way you plan to use the platform. Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting a crowdfunding platform:
1. Is your startup an established business or a new venture?
Each type of startup has different needs when it comes to crowdfunding. Established businesses need to raise money to continue their operations while new ventures may only need a small amount of capital to get off the ground.
2. What kind of campaign are you planning?
There are three main types of crowdfunding campaigns: donation, rewards, and equity.
Donation campaigns are the simplest type and allow backers to donate money to your project without any strings attached. Rewards campaigns are similar to donation campaigns, but backers can also receive rewards in return for their donations. Equity crowdfunding allows backers to purchase shares in your company in exchange for donations.
3. How much money do you need?
Most crowdfunding platforms allow you to start a campaign with anywhere from $500 to $5 million. The more money you need, the more complex your platform needs to be. Some platforms, like Indiegogo, offercustomizable templates that make it easy to get started.
4. Do you have a marketing strategy?
Many crowdfunding platforms require you to have a marketing strategy in place before you launch your campaign. This plan should include things like how much money you will spend on advertising, where you will target your ads, and what social media channels you will use. Check out our business marketing strategy service.
2.3 Identifying the right funding amount for Crowdfunding for Startups
There is no simple answer when it comes to understanding how much money is best suited for crowdfunding campaigns. There are a variety of factors that can affect the amount of money a campaign can receive, including the type of campaign (e.g.,Kickstarter or Indiegogo), the target audience, and the number and timing of donations.
We help you identify the right amount of funding you need to raise for a startup through assessing your startup valuation and stage. We work on this as part of the planning phase. We also take into account the platform you are going to use for your crowdfunding campaign. Read more about our planning for raising capital service.
2.4 Building a crowdfunding campaign for your Startup
Building a successful crowdfunding campaign can be tricky business. In order to get your project off the ground, you’ll need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and how you plan on reaching your target audience. You’ll also need to create an effective marketing strategy that will draw in interested backers and help you find angel investor for your startup.
When starting a crowdfunding campaign, there are a few things you should consider. First, decide what type of campaign you want to run. There are four main types of campaigns: pre-launch, launch, growth, and exit. Pre-launch campaigns are used to raise money before a product is even launched. Launch campaigns are used to raise money to fuel the early stages of a product’s development. Growth campaigns are used to raise money to fund continued expansion of a product or company. Exit campaigns are used to wind down a company and return the funds raised to the investors.
Skyson Capital helps you build your crowdfunding campaign through following a detailed process. We first start with identifying your target audience and setting up a clear messaging. We also advise you on how to use effective marketing and brand awareness strategies to reach your target audience. We also advise you on how to present your startup and startup pitch deck on the most popular crowdfunding platforms. If you already built your campaign and are looking for support in running it and improving its performance, we can help as well. We advise you on how to use effective advertising techniques to reach potential backers sooner rather than later and drive traffic back into your campaign, saving you time and money in the long run!
Quick Tip
One of the key factors that will determine whether or not your campaign is successful is the level of commitment you offer backers. Do you offer exclusive rewards or only generalized perks? Are there any exclusives that are particularly popular with backers? If so, make sure you’re prepared to generate significant hype and keep backers engaged.
2.5 Promoting your startup crowdfunding campaign
There are several things you need to do to promote your crowdfunding campaign.
1. Research your target audience. Who are you trying to reach with your campaign? Are you targeting existing customers, potential investors, or members of the media?
2. Choose a crowdfunding platform. There are several different platforms to choose from, but each has its own set of rules and requirements. Make sure you research which platform is best for your project.
3. Create a compelling campaign video. A good campaign video not only educates your target audience about your project, but it also sells your idea.
4. Build an active social media following. Social media is key to reaching your target audience. Share your campaign information on your social media accounts and encourage people to sign up for updates.
5. Promote your campaign throughout the year. Start early and promote your campaign regularly. You never know when something will trigger someone’s interest in your project.
There are a few things you can do to promote your crowdfunding campaign in order to get more attention and raise more money. One is to create a social media presence for your campaign and build a social media marketing strategy. You can use platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to share updates about the campaign, answer questions from fans, and make it easy for people to donate. You also need to make sure you are doing all you can to build a community around your campaign – connect with potential backers on forums, chat rooms, and social media platforms so that everyone knows what’s happening with your campaign and how much support they have.
