It was probably an amazing course in 2013, but it's 2020 and stuff this lady is talking about is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo outdated. I've done a few small fundraisers myself and I struggled to find anything useful in this course. Disappointed, as I am wrapping another fundraiser atm and was really hoping to learn a few tricks to take it from 70% to 100%.

I did not know anything about Crowdfunding before I took this course. Now I feel that I am least familiar with the fundamentals of this endeavor. In fact I am pretty sure I know more about crowdfunding than anyone on my team.

I am particularly grateful that I did not launch my campaign without knowing the massive amount of preparation required to be successful.

All in all a great course.

Was super helpful in getting me started crowdfunding for Grad school. She presents easy to understand best practices that really work. Would love to have more information about fundraising for individual rather than product or business. Many transferable lessons though!
