In this episode of Invent With Me, we dive deep into the world of Kickstarter and crowdfunding — beyond the hype. You’ve seen those campaigns that raise 3,000% of their goal, but what’s really going on behind the scenes? Is Kickstarter still worth it in 2025? And how do you actually launch a successful campaign?

We break it all down:

✅ The role of agencies like Jellop, Kickbooster, and BackerKit
✅ Hidden costs, busted myths, and success traps
✅ A step-by-step plan to launch your own winning campaign
