You have an idea and want to bring it to fruition. Where do you begin? How do you make it happen? Crowdfunding is a great way to launch a new product and build your business. Not to mention, it is mutually beneficial to both project creators and backers. However, crowdfunding does not guarantee high-level success for every product; it’s crucial to determine ahead of time if your idea is a good fit for crowdfunding, or if it may be better suited for a more “traditional” route.
