We had a pleasant experience crowdfunding and Kickstarter was a great partner. They are definitely strict and they asked us to change a few things (totally understandable as they want to protect their community) but setting up was easy, and getting paid afterwards was a breeze. Anytime we had questions they were fairly quick, my only wish is that they had phone support.

Crowdfunding without a doubt is one of the most stressful things weve done yet in our companys young life. Eesh. To cut a long story short, we were down to 15 days and still had a good $10k to go for our raise goal. In other words, the odds were against us that we were going to hit our raise goal. We were spending big on Facebook advertising but our conversion rate just wasnt getting there and unless we doubled our spending, we were still going to fall short. We thought long and hard about bringing on some outside work and after reaching out to Buzztilt I felt confident we found a good partner but still knew were facing long odds. After all with only a little over 2 weeks left what could they pull off?

We had to take a shot though, starting off a company with a crowdfunding failure isnt the way we wanted to start, and knew if we could get funded the momentum would help us longterm with investors, etc. Incredibly, they went to work immediately, they assured us they could make no guarantees and I appreciated the candid honesty, there was no hard sell, and they let us know the reality were facing but they loved our product and story and were willing to give us a shot. They had a quick turnaround time and within days we were featured on Uncrate and several other gadget type sites. I usually dont like hiring outside services and prefer to do things in-house but I felt like for the duration they were with us that they were part of our team hustling to make it happen. Thanks again guys it was a pleasure.
