Make the Jump from Maker to Pro

Moving your design from a “maker” model to a “professional” model requires a lot of steps. One of those steps has to do with funding, something engineers/developers don’t often spend a lot of time thinking about. One solution is crowdfunding, which has produced a number of notable projects to the world, such as the Pebble watch and Oculus VR headset. Crowdfunding can be a powerful tool that takes work and careful planning to properly use. In this class, Jeremy Cook will outline what it takes to put out a successful crowdfunding campaign, drawing from his own experience with the Arduino-based JC Pro Macro 2 Kickstarter, along with statistics and insights from other makers who have made the leap using crowdfunding.
