Anyone has any experience in crowdfunding?

Recently our team is planning to launch a crowdfunding, however, never try crowdfunding before, wondering if there's any advice?

Including the marketing strategy, our team actually is preparing for crowdfunding to reach the goal in the first day launch!
We've developed our facebook fanpage, Instagram and the Website, not sure if there's anything we can do to reach more crowds.

Any insight is welcome! Thanks

I think there is confusion here on whether it is crowd funding via a product launch or a crowd funded equity raise. The same term is use for both and both generate funding, but the mechanism is very different. One difference is that crowdfunded product is best (exclusively?) for B2C and crowdfunded equity raise works better for B2B businesses (at last according to https://wefunder.com/ .)

Yes. And not for good. Here’s a good article on it.
