They went above and beyond to understand the potential of our disruptive technology and message it to a wide audience of media professionals, influencers, and makers around the globe. With Vann Alexandra's help, we exceeded our Kickstarter goal. We would recommend Vann Alexandra's brilliant team to anyone who wants crowdfunding success or needs to shine a spotlight on their work."
Eric Ries
Author, The Lean Startup
"Crowdfunding expert Alex Daly and her colleagues shared their considerable knowledge about running a successful campaign and worked tirelessly around the clock to manage our strategy, communications, budget, and fulfillment. Having seen them in action, it’s no surprise that she has had such success with so many crowdfunding projects."
Eliot Higgins
Founder, Bellingcat
"At very short notice Vann Alexandra managed to produce a professional and popular Kickstarter campaign, and their management of the campaign not only ensured the success of the campaign, but also the success of Bellingcat."
Marina Willer
Partner, Pentagram
"I approached Vann Alexandra to help us raise money for a documentary film. Alex and her team were instrumental in steering the Kickstarter, giving us great advice on what to include on our page and in our rewards. The campaign was a great success and we surpassed our goal. We really couldn't have done it without them, thank you Vann Alexandra!"
Jesse Reed
Founder, The Standards Manual
"The success of our campaigns have been the result of three things: important content, passion for telling a story, and the guidance from Vann Alexandra. Our vision was supported by the advice and experience from the Vann Alexandra team, who day-in and day-out were a part of the campaign process—before, during, and well after. I can say with certainty that we wouldn’t have reached the massive audience we did without their hands in our efforts."
