273. How Jasmine Star Fundraised $555K From Her Community In 1 Hour

Cubicle to CEO

We’ve got an online marketing icon behind the mic today!

Jasmine Star is a world-class speaker, podcast host, and the founder of Social Curator, a SaaS company that works like a social media marketing agency in your pocket. In today’s case study, we uncover exactly how Jasmine fundraised over $555,000 from her community in just 1 hour to propel the growth of Social Curator.

Instead of looking to banks, VCs, or angel investors, Jasmine turned to her community of already invested users for a bootstrapped cash injection.

We examine the urgency plays she used to exceed her goal amount in under an hour, including the logistics of her best conversion secret: recording hundreds of personalized videos for individuals on her waitlist.
