Hey, I'm Jonny — a crowdfunding consultant based in London.
If you're thinking of crowdfunding, I help you build a solid strategy and communications plan to raise more.
I'm one of the UK’s most successful crowdfunding consultants largely because I enjoy helping founders raise the funds they need while also building an army to back them.
Before you decide to crowdfund or choose a platform, it’s worth booking a first strategy call.
In just 90 minutes, we’ll discuss:
This first call is just £249 for up to 90 minutes and I’ll offload as much information as I can to put you in the best position.
You’ll gain greater clarity and direction for crowdfunding, or even save thousands in wasted time and effort if you choose not to do it!
And there’s absolutely no commitment – or expectation – for you to continue with me.

Bi-weekly calls for the duration of the campaign to support you through the whole process. I'll be your Lead Strategist and sidekick (problem solver).

We're talking about equity crowdfunding which is a way for startups to raise funding selling shares to their customers, audience and the public. You can reward investors with other tangible assets but the primary motivation for backing you is to help you succeed with the potential of earning a profit from the sale of shares in the future.
Equity crowdfunding platforms include Seedrs and Crowdcube in the UK, and Republic and WeFunder in the US. The reward-based crowdfunding platforms are Indigogo, Kickstarter etc.
Both platforms have their benefits. Generally, Seedrs has higher value investors while Crowdcube is more of a consumer platform. Which is best for you will depend on your own audience, the type of product and how much you're aiming to raise. Book a strategy call to discuss.
