Hire the Best Crowdfunding Specialists
in the United Kingdom

I'm a product manager and technologist with experience at the interface between digital and physical products. On the digital side I've developed web services, e-commerce apps and data management platforms. On the physical side I've worked with scientific instrumentation, sensor devices and Internet of Things systems. I've founded companies to commercialise my own product designs after raising over $200k via six successful Kickstarter projects. In addition I founded a crowdfunding community and meetup in London and provide crowdfunding advisory services. I'm a strategic thinker who loves a good theory, but also happy to get hands-on when necessary. My default is to make things – whether it be to sketch, 3D print, or to solder some components together.

A copywriter since way way before robot writers were even a glint in the AI of coders, Jon has experience of working Above-The-Line, Below-The-Line, Through-The-Line and even crossing the line now and again. He has worked (and continues to work) on ideas for Social, TV, Online, Press, Outdoor and DM. His Airbnb and VRBO listings, his landing pages web pages and product descriptions, his press releases, crowdfunders and rewrites will all be ripped off by machines in a couple of years. But you can get them fresh, now, here on Upwork!
