Support Upgrades

Crowdfund Confidently with Support Upgrades

Do you need to raise funding for your initiative or cause? Are you new to crowdfunding, and want the security and confidence of working with experts to design your campaign? Do you want to gain the skills and insights to be great at crowdfunding the first time?

If you answered yes, you’ve come to the right place!

At StartSomeGood, we want you to succeed. We are a social enterprise committed to supporting emerging changemakers and impact projects (as well as those more established). Our mission is to increase the pace of innovation for good and we do this not simply by offering you tools you can use by coaching and support to use those tools successfully. And while crowdfunding is an amazing tool, like any tool, it’s all about how you use it.

Now to be clear, you don’t need to choose a support upgrade. Our free support is the best offered by any platform. You get a dedicated human giving you personalised feedback and support, including a free onboarding call. This is a big part of why we have the highest project success rate in cause based crowdfunding.

But if you’d like to shift the odds even further in your favor you can purchase an upgrade of your choice, providing additional coaching, consulting or even co-design (as in, we’ll draft your entire campaign) if that’s what you want. So if you’d like to just jump in and start drafting, do so here. Otherwise, read on.

FIND OUT MORE:

Our Coaching Upgrade gives you four calls with an experienced crowdfunding coach on our team to help you craft your strategy and story for greatest impact. We will give you feedback on everything from your story to your video script, your project page and visuals to your email and communications strategy. This will give you the recipe for success, but it is up to you and your team to create and implement your campaign.

Our Consulting Upgrade includes all the above along with two private sessions with Tom Dawkins, CEO of StartSomeGood and globally recognized crowdfunding expert to help refine your strategy up-front then review and improve your campaign once drafted.

Need help with the implementation? Our Co-design Upgrade does just that. Our team actually develops your campaign for you, along with a Marketing and Outreach Plan.

We interview you and do the work to translate your ideas, for you to review. You still have to run the campaign, but we also provide a messaging and outreach guide to focus your efforts.
