Slater: Vilius has written an easy to read compendium on how to prep and run your crowd funding. It has become a reference document. To me -- the most valuable pieces are the focus on the pre-work. He works to dispel the "Build-it and the will come" mind set. That's not the way KS and IGG (IndieGoGo) work.

When you see doors blown out numbers over $1M -- You need to know a few key things:

1) PR work needs to start to occur 6 months prior (if not earlier!)

2) Most of these products have already built up enough of a following so that at launch fully of a third of their pledges are already 'locked down' via landing page and email collection.

Sarah Hall: The author is clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about this subject! Great detail throughout the book.

This book will be referenced again and again for me.

Andrei Cernasov: Clear and concise with a great number of links to relevant resources (additional links available at the book’s website).

David Mahon: I bought this booking as I am planning my first Kickstarter project. It's packed full of information, tips and insight that will be an incredible help when I finally take the plunge. The author, Vilius, has talked the reader through the pre-launch process in a clear, step-by-step way and has highlighted some of the key pitfalls. The style, pace and quality of information provided is great. It will certainly stand me in much better stead for when I launch my Kickstarter campaign. Thanks Vilius!

Sinj: I found this helpful and packed full of ACTIONS - something many how to books lack. I would say the email examples are worth the price of the book alone! I reached out to two people so far using the ideas and have had success. Thank you for sharing this!

Ice Cube: Good advice for any beginner entrepreneur. I disagree with harvesting your business and personal relationships because those should be cherished for a lifetime while your business might fail. Other than that, the book is solid.
