While Kickstarter provides entrepreneurs the platform to bring their idea to market, the question is, how do you even know if there is a market?

Rather than have the entrepreneur spend valuable time and money on making their idea a reality before knowing if anyone actually wants it, Launchboom does the legwork to market your idea to an ideal audience and build a buy-in before your presale.

“It's just a smarter, safer way to validate demand and generate thousands of new loyal customers in a short amount of time,” says Launchboom President Will Ford. “When I say short amount of time, it's usually about a six to nine-month process from all the prep work to the live launch and then the continuation of that presale.”

What’s the best-case scenario from all this intel? It’s what Will likes to call the Launchboom effect.
“We get entire campaigns funded within minutes because we've already created the engagement,” smiles Will.
This unique approach to entrepreneurship comes from an understanding of online marketing and Will’s own career building businesses.

“Products that generally perform super well through Launchboom are physical and tangible” notes Will. “Like hardware, food, goods, products like that.”

Funny enough, Will does not advise using Launchboom with the same enthusiasm when it comes to innovating in the actual digital world.
“I have a lot of people that come to me saying they want to ...
