Show Notes
Today I chat with Anna Guenther the Chief Bubble blower from PledgeMe.
PledgeMe is a crowdfunding platform which helps Kiwi's fund the things they care about.
They have run over 1000 successful campaigns and helped raise over $15 million dollars.
We chat through the origin story of PledgeMe and Anna's story in getting to the point. Other topics we cover are:
+ Naievity in the beginning of projects and how it is important
+ Finding validation points
+ Shifting the goalposts when you need to
+ The difference between good and bad stress and managing both
+ Changing the landscape of crowdfunding
+ Why crowdfunding isn't dumb money
+ Dealing with internet trolls
+ The importance of diversity of perspective
+ Why we should have robust conversations about everything
+ Why people are both the best and worst things
