WHAT WE DO FOR YOU

ABOUT US – PORTFOLIO – CONTACT US – SIGN UP

The majority of crowdfunding campaigns fail to reach the fully funded status. If you “go it alone”, you are statistically likely to fall into that category. For that reason, hiring a professional crowdfunding campaign management company to orchestrate your campaign with you is critical. You need experts who can: (1) map out an end-to-end campaign plan; (2) execute the many logistical tasks required to deliver a quality campaign; and (3) measure campaign outcomes.

As your crowdfunding campaign management partner, Crowdfunding Accelerator can oversee every step in the campaign process. Outsourcing labor-intensive campaign planning & logistics management to us lets your team stay focused on the more strategic & value creating activities of your business.

Our passion is managing the behind-the-scenes details to deliver a superior campaign experience for your audience. We thrive on delighting you - our valued customer - by helping you run campaigns that meet or exceed your business goals.

As for the crowdfunding industry in general, crowdfunding fatigue is inevitable as the overall channel matures, as a funding pipe, losing the gloss of newness and shiny excitement associated with it. Now more than ever, if your crowdfunding campaign is to become fully funded, it must stand out above the sea of other campaigns. That is truly where Crowdfunding Accelerator stands worlds above the rest of the so-called “Crowdfunding Promoters”.

Our clients are not accustomed to the word Failure.
