Trying to get your creative project off the ground? Sweat equity will only get you so far. At some point, you’ll probably need some cash from others. But how are you going to get it? Don Pare is the Chief Mentor at Real Value Capital (RvC Inc.). He and his team connect film producers, musicians and digital media creators with private investors (“angels”) looking to fund creative projects with start-up money and, eventually, expecting to make a profit on the successful projects they support. But he also advocates crowd funding as a first step to accelerate the process. A great crowd funding campaign can, in turn, attract angel investors who can help fund and distribute a project far beyond your initial objectives. Don stresses story telling: “Something to believe in.” You provide a great story and the universe will help you fund it. And Don helps show you how to make that happen. He shares great tips (and great enthusiasm) for helping creators develop and distribute their products. Don’s connections with 10,000 angels worldwide may just be the next step you need to take.
