From a Stinky First Draft into a Great Crowdfunding Video Pitch!

In the past 3 years crowdfunding has exploded as an alternative form of raising capital. As the statistics support that small and medium sized businesses struggle to find access to the financial resources they need to grow and success through traditional sources like banks, crowdfunding offers a way to validate your business idea or model, strengthen your market making potential and raise the capital you need.
