• By registering a patent, copyrighting your work, or trademarking your name and logo, you can protect your intellectual property.
• Be sure to understand your potential manufacturing partner's proficiency by scrutinising their experience, technical capabilities, and reputation.

Kickstart Your Idea With Crowdfunding

• For more than a decade, crowdfunding has been used as a tool to promote, fund, and test the market through pre-orders, even without a finished product ready to ship.
• With a proper marketing plan and promotional channels, it is still a great way to put your startup on the map and fund your early production costs and bring an idea to the market.
• Learn how to approach crowdfunding in the early startup phase
• Understand the importance of pre-campaign and promotional channels
• Develop a strategy for a live campaign and pre-orders
