How to run a sucessful crowdfunder
During 2021, we teamed up with Crowdfunder UK to help a group of our members through a collective crowdfunding programme, raising over £20k! During the programme, we produced a number of resources for members to help them through their campaigns, along with Zoom meet-ups and a Slack support group. See all the resources here and learn how to run your own successful crowdfunding campaign for a vegan business.
Live Q&A session with Crowdfunder UK
We’re joined by Nicole and Anna from CrowdfunderUK to explain how rewards-based crowdfunding works and how to run a successful campaign. Nicole, Anna and David then take questions from the members live to help you get started on your crowdfunding campaign.
How Victoria hit her crowdfunding target
Victoria from Happy Carrot Skincare was the second of our members on our Crowdfunding programme to hit their funding goal. We talk to Victoria to find out exactly what activity she did to hit her target, what she learned and what she would change if she did it all again.
How Laura hit her crowdfunding target
Laura from Primary Veducation is on a mission to help schools be more inclusive for vegan children. Unlike our other members, Laura found that the majority of her backers were people she had no previous connection with. So just how did Laura buck the crowdfunding trend and get supported by complete strangers?
