Helping founders, leadership teams, and SMEs navigate growth, fundraising, and transformation through hands on execution, cross functional leadership, and alignment across operations, technology, finance, marketing, sales, and organisational growth. ✔ Advised 200+ startups and SMEs globally ✔ Supported fundraising initiatives exceeding $25M+ ✔ 10 years in leadership roles at GE ✔ Top Rated with 100% Job Success Score ✔ Startup Mentor at Surrey University and Ignyte Since 2019, I have worked full time as a Strategic Advisor and Fractional COO, partnering with founders, leadership teams, investors, and portfolio companies across growth, fundraising, operational transformation, and scaling initiatives. I combine the discipline, governance, and execution rigor developed during 10 years in leadership roles at GE with the agility and hands on approach required in startups and growing businesses. Unlike specialists focused on a single function, I operate across the business with a 360 degree perspective, aligning people, processes, technology, finance, operations, culture, and governance around common objectives. My role is often to act as the glue between leadership, investors, teams, and external stakeholders, ensuring priorities are clear, communication flows effectively, and execution remains on track. How I Help ✔ Fractional COO and Operational Leadership ✔ Strategic Planning and Execution ✔ Startup Growth and Scaling ✔ Fundraising Readiness, Financial Modelling, and Investor Materials ✔ KPI, OKR, and Performance Management Frameworks ✔ Business Transformation and Process Optimisation ✔ Cross Functional Leadership Across Product, Technology, Operations, Finance, and Commercial Teams ✔ Stakeholder Management Across Leadership Teams, Investors, Boards, Clients, and Partners My Approach I do not just provide recommendations. I work closely with leadership teams to drive execution, remove bottlenecks, align stakeholders, improve communication, establish accountability, and ensure initiatives translate into measurable business outcomes. I am highly data driven, hands on, and comfortable operating in ambiguous environments where priorities evolve quickly and information is incomplete. Whether supporting a startup preparing for its first funding round or a growing business navigating a complex transition, my focus is always the same: helping leadership teams make better decisions, align priorities, and execute with confidence. If you need a strategic partner who can operate across the business, connect strategy with execution, and help your organisation move forward with greater clarity, alignment, and momentum, let's talk.

(feel free to ask for examples of books I've marketed for past clients) My promise: I'll get your book in the hands of thousands of Bloggers / YouTubers / Podcasts / Reviewers who will then get their literal millions of followers to buy/review it, and I can get your book sold inside thousands of Bookstores and on Library shelves. I've done this hundreds of times and with all genres, so you can see hundreds of positive reviews from my clients here on my Profile page. Be sure to take a look at the following docs in the Portfolio section here on my profile: 1. My ”Client Results Spreadsheet” (which shows all of my clients from the past 2 years, which services they ordered from me, and the profit that resulted) 2. My ”Client Sales Charts” (screenshots that my clients took of their Amazon sales charts after my marketing) Put simply, my 4-step process is very “turn-key” for my clients, as I do 100% of the work for them, and with each step being optional: STEP #1: I supply you with the Contact List files of your choice (just a few examples below): + 850 Bookstores + 2,730 Libraries + 420 Book Review Blogs + 55 Book Review Podcasts + 180 Book Review Youtubers + 1,000 Health and Wellness Blogs + 1,000 Business Blogs + 420 Mom Blogs + 600 Self-Help / Self-Improvement Blogs + 750 Family Lifestyle Blogs + 250 Children's Book Review Blogs + 375 Mental Health Blogs + And many, many more! STEP #2: I write Custom Outreach Emails to each Contact List for you STEP #3: I send out the thousands of emails for you and I'm able to guarantee a minimum Open Rate of at least 40% STEP #4: The contacts then buy, review, and share your book, so their millions of followers can see it and buy it as well I also offer an incredibly in-depth 40-page Book Marketing Guide that goes through literally every tactic that authors should be doing to market their books, including links of where to do these things, when to do these things, and how best to do them. A bit more about me: I'm also an award-winning author myself with multiple bestseller books - one of which is currently being produced as a feature film.

How to Hire Top Crowdfunding Specialists

How to hire crowdfunding specialists

Do you have a new business or product idea but aren’t ready to pursue formal investment channels? Why not raise capital from the crowd? If you’re looking for a contractor who can help you run a crowdfunding campaign on sites such as Kickstarter, Fundable, and Indiegogo, a crowdfunding specialist can help.

So how do you hire crowdfunding specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top crowdfunding specialists on Upwork.

How to shortlist crowdfunding professionals

As you’re browsing available crowdfunding consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the contractors you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a crowdfunding specialist who understands your target market so they can build you a crowdfunding campaign that will resonate with your audience.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., launching a crowdfunding campaign with Kickstarter).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular crowdfunding specialist.

How to write an effective crowdfunding job post

With a clear picture of your ideal crowdfunding specialist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective crowdfunding job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From running your crowdfunding campaign to handling PPC (pay-per-click) ads, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or marketing channels, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

CROWDFUNDING SPECIALISTS FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is the practice of leveraging the public to fund projects, products, and start-up ventures. A crowdfunding specialist can help you set up an account on a major crowdfunding platform and build a conversion funnel around your campaign through traditional digital marketing tactics such as social media shares, email lists, and content creation.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in crowdfunding professionals:

  • Crowdfunding
  • Digital marketing
  • Content creation
  • Social media
  • Email list building

Why hire crowdfunding specialists?

The trick to finding top crowdfunding specialists is to identify your needs. Which crowdfunding platform (e.g., Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Experiment) will you be using to raise capital? Will your crowdfunding specialist also need copywriting skills to write the copy that will turn leads into investments? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a crowdfunding specialist?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced crowdfunding specialist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their crowdfunding services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
