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
