Within the framework of the Crowd-Fund-Port project, ikosom - one of the Project Partners - created a comprehensive training material for small and medium sized enterprises to improve their access to capital through online platforms.
In seven modules it explains “Crowdfunding” and how to prepare a successful Crowdfunding-campaign. It is meant to be used by our Project Partners, who are hosting local/regional trainings for SMEs to learn about Crowdfunding, successful campaigns, best practices in building a community and choosing the right Crowdfunding platform.
Here you find an abridged version of Module 07 - Crowdfunding exercises. Especially if you are working as a Crowdfunding Consultant in Central Europe, you can use this material in your own trainings.
To get full access to the seven modules, please visit https://www.CrowdFundPort.eu.
Crowd-Fund-Port is a project funded by the Innovation and Knowledge Priority of the Interreg Central Europe Programme. The aim of the project is to support SMEs in Central Europe in accessing capital and strengthen Crowdfunding Ecosystems in Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Social Innovation, a grassroots approach to innovation management, is proving to be a valuable complement to traditional, top-down methodologies of managing innovation. It is, however, relatively new and inherently less
structured than traditional methodologies. As a result, innovation leaders often find it difficult to measure performance and evaluate health of their
innovation communities.
This presentation first defines social innovation. It then defines a set of social metrics that can be measured and used as the leading indicators of success of social innovation efforts.

How to kickstart your co-creation platform - 20 examples by @boardofinnoBoard of Innovation
This document summarizes 20 existing co-creation platforms. It describes different types of co-creation such as clubs of experts, crowds of people, coalitions of parties, and communities of kindred spirits.

Platforms are compared based on parameters like number of people involved, frequency of interaction, competition level, project duration, and return for participants. The goal is to learn from existing examples of co-creation between industries, governments, and consumers.
This presentation was from the webinar "Crowdsourcing for Product Managers" held on May 31/11. It looks at crowdsourcing as an option for product managers to help build better products, stay in tune with the market, and create stickiness with prospects and customers.

Content Writing for Crowdfunding CampaignsProPRcopy

9. Crowdfunding is a form of online finance for innovative companies,
projects and people. Crowdfunding comes in many different formats
and purposes - but the overall similarity is the process of collaborative
funding often on Crowdfunding platforms, which bring together the
supporters with the recipients of funds.

13. What is meant by pre-campaigning?
13
Everything that can be done in
advance BEFORE launching a
Crowdfunding-project on a platform is
part of the pre-campaigning phase.
14. ● Organise your Crowdfunding campaign: On the first slides of this Module,
we give an overview on the different phases of the Crowdfunding process:
the pre-campaigning phase, the campaigning-phase itself and the
post-campaigning-phase.
● Pre-campaigning: On the following slides, we focus on the
pre-campaigning-phase. We've split this phase up into three parts,
illustrating each part with a variety of best practice examples and
supportive tips:
○ Identify!: This includes conceptual and organisational tasks, like
defining your goal, your budget and team, but also explore
Crowdfunding in general and learn about how the tools and the
platforms work and finally choose one platform that fits your purpose.
14
Table of contents
15. ○ Prepare!: The pre-campaign phase also includes preparing a
communication plan and start building a crowd.
○ Build!: Last but not least, it is about building your project page on the
chosen platform, add a video, text and - if reward based - your rewards
or - if equity based - your business plan.

20. What is meant by campaigning?
20
Once you launched your campaign
it is all about raising awareness,
interacting with your community
and keeping everyone informed.
21. ● Run your Crowdfunding campaign: The purpose of this Module is to guide
you through the steps of campaigning. We've split this phase up into three
parts, illustrating each part with a variety of best practice examples and
supportive tips. The module has the following sub-chapters:
○ Generate!: In the first few hours and days, you need to generate some
buzz by telling as many people as possible about your project. Send out
emails, publish your prepared press release, inform friends through
direct messages and update your community in any given way. This
chapter is all about raising the awareness of your community!
21
Table of contents
22. ○ Engage!: After generating some buzz, it is all about engaging with the
Crowd. Try to answer their questions via email, but also in the
FAQ-section on your project-page. Also ask for feedback and involve
the Crowd and last but not least, communicate with your followers on
your established channels. This chapter is all about interacting with
your community!
○ Update!: During the campaign it is crucial to also keep your community
in the loop, not only supporters, but also influencers and of course your
family & friends. Update your project-page, post published interviews,
send a follow-up newsletter and remind people of your campaign. This
chapter is all about keeping your community informed!

Once you finished your campaign,
it is all about thanking your
community, fulfilling your promises
and further growing your business.
28. ● Run your Crowdfunding campaign: In previous Modules, we discussed the
preparation and management of the campaign. The following Module 4
includes all activities which are done after the end of the campaign, so
either when the funding goal is achieved or the the funding time has ended.
Again, we've split this phase up into three parts, illustrating each part with
a variety of best practice examples and supportive tips. The module has the
following sub-chapters:
○ Thank!: After a successfully finished Crowdfunding campaign, project
owners often focus on their businesses. But do not forget your Crowd,
as your supporters often are also your first customers and influencers,
who recommend your product or your brand. This chapter is all about
thanking everyone for joining the campaign!

29. ○ Fulfill!: After you finished your campaign the “real” work
starts/continues and you have to make sure to start with producing

○ Grow!: Last but not least, sharing insights and regularly communicate
with your communication is important. This chapter is all about
