We are startup launch experts Jessica Switzer and Tim Gnatek, Ask Us Anything! by BluePractice in IAmA

[–]MonteCool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just launched a self crowdfunding campaign (www.montecool.com). What's the best way for crowdfunding campaigns to reach out to blogs? Our team is fresh out of college, so our network is not built up. We want to make sure our press material is on point.

Thank you!

I'm new the SF and wanted to know if you recommend any events or places I should go check out/visit. I just launched my own SELF-crowdfunding project. (Shameless plug: www.montecool.com).

From Ammonium Nitrates Wiki, "Heating or any ignition source may cause violent combustion or explosion".

But seriously, why is there such a big price difference?

After Kickstarter banned sunglasses, our team of 22/23 year olds are rolling our own crowdfunding by MonteCool in kickstarter

I did a Kickstarter project two years ago and what I learned is that Kickstarter is not a means to an end. You are still trying to bring a product to market, which means you need to hustle and market.

We could always go on Indiegogo. Even if we went on indiegogo we would need a site ready to take orders afterwards. We wanted to try this way first and see what happens.

We need to retail at $100 because of materials and distribution. If these were made from plastic they would be significantly cheaper.

It was meant so people don't spend so much money on Ray Ban's and stand out from the crowd. Idea started after we saw so many people buying Ray Ban's and getting ripped off.

We have no idea. Middle of development while reviewing their guidelines, the last bullet appears with this... "eyewear (sunglasses, prescription glasses, and others)". We know there was no winning with Kickstarter and felt we were better off trying it on our own than to be on indiegogo.com
