Most crowdfunding campaigns are decided months before launch day.

Not by the product. By the planning behind it.

What you'll learn:

- Why most founders set their funding goal on ego, not data

- The "mom test" and why skipping it cracks campaigns before launch

- Why the middle of your campaign is the most dangerous stretch

- What happens when your leads sit too long before launch
