WHY COCONUT WHISK CHOSE IFUNDWOMEN BY BELLA
When I decided that I wanted to do crowdfunding, my first thought was Kickstarter. Many of my peers have used them, so I thought well, I guess this is the route for us too.
However, months went by and I still hadn’t made much progress with the project. I think it was a lack of guidance and knowledge that held me back.
That was when I shared my frustration with a mentor. I felt so overwhelmed with this campaign and needed a good pep talk. Her response changed everything.
She told me about a new crowdfunding platform made for women, by women — iFundWomen — and I swear, I felt rainbows and unicorns swirl around me.
For the first time in months, I felt excited again.
What made me most excited was their free e-course, workshops, and coaching options. As someone who’d never launched a crowdfunding campaign, I was at square one, but with the help of IFWI was able to learn everything I needed to know.
I was so energized that I finished their course and built my campaign within two weeks. The e-course was my favorite because it enabled me to DIY the entire project. From videos to graphics, I felt equipped to tackle it on my own with their help. They never pushed me to buy packages or anything, I just shared them as an option. Everyone I talked to at IFW made me feel so cared for (and that’s a lovely feeling when you’re in the biz).
Most importantly, I learned that there are no magical fairies who will back your campaign, so we needed to be strategic and put work every day to connect with our network. That was the most eye-opening advice.
Now that our campaign is coming to a (successful) close, I would attribute our #win to the support and guidance from iFundWomen. I don’t say that lightly. I was hesitant choosing IFW because they’re new in the game, but the value and community gained from this platform are truly priceless. They really do care about the companies that partner with them. Not only do they support women founders through community and education, but they also donate 20 percent of their service fees to support live campaigns. I was even a lucky recipient of their Pay-It-Forward Grant Program.
So if you’re on the fence about choosing a platform for your crowdfunding campaign, let me make this easy on you. Pick iFundwomen. My mentor did me a favor by sharing with me about iFundWomen. Now, do yourself a favor and kick off your dream with the help from iFundWomen!
Cheers!
