On Kickstarter, everyone know you need a good video to attract funding. Why don’t we see more videos in the equity Crowdfunding world?
Take a look at some Kickstarter videos. They’re great! They convey a message. They convey enthusiasm. They convey a will to succeed. They describe the project in the developer’s – sorry, the sponsor’s – voice. They ask for money persuasively.
All of that is relevant to equity Crowdfunding. I think the only reason we don’t see it (yet) is because that’s just not the way we’ve been doing things in finance for the last 30 years. We have a thick Private Placement Memorandum that creates friction in the transaction, but we don’t have a video.
For at least some of its deals, RealtyMogul now has a short introductory video featuring an attractive young representative from Wealth Forge. A good start!
Whenever I speak about Crowdfunding, I suggest that the hard-won lessons of the donation-based world should not be lost on equity-based world. If there’s one lesson from Kickstarter, it’s that videos matter.
NOTE: Any marketing folks see an opportunity here?
