    I'm an entrepreneur trying to launch my new product in kickstarter, and completing thesis for my Doctorate in Business at the same time.

    My company focuses in life science, so in this very chaotic-depressing time, I'm launching a supplement for depression; but this is the first time I do crowdfunding, so I'd need quite some help.

    As I need to write a thesis for my Doctorate degree as well, I thought "why not do them together"; so I'm now looking for some people who backed crowdfunding projects before for a few questions.

    Anyone has any idea where I can find some previous backers?

    I worked as a marine engineer in the merchant fleet for 15 years and have also been a professional portrait and landscape photographer for nearly as long. Now, I spend more time with my family, write and publish books and photo books, and have studied game development—though I haven’t taken it beyond practice yet.

    My true passion is writing fantasy books, and in the future, I might even create my own fantasy RPG game.

    What is your day job?
    By day, I’m a multidisciplinary artist and musician, producing multimedia content that blends storytelling, sound design, and visual art. I manage every aspect of my creative brand—from production and marketing to distribution.

    What is your passion project?
    My passion project is STONEFRENGE—a sci-fi space opera series that spans music, film, 2D animation, and storytelling. It’s an immersive world I’m building from the ground up, where sound meets story in a fight for humanity’s future.

    My day job is a zoo keeper for Zebras, which is reflected in my username. I'm really lucky to have a job I love.

    My passion project is to open up a sanctuary for Zebras in America. They are so beautiful majestic creatures.

    That’s awesome, sounds like you’ve got a good balance going. I work full-time in marketing, but on the side I’ve been helping a couple of friends with their indie projects, one’s a board game and the other is a small app. Nothing huge, but it’s been fun learning how to get them in front of the right people without spending a fortune. It’s cool to see how much buzz you can create just by finding the right niche communities online.

    I run my own company where we provide motor vehicle tire replacement, servicing, and rental services. Alongside this, I recently launched my Indiegogo campaign, which I am spending a lot of time working on:

    Cześć wszystkim,

    cóż za fantastyczny wątek! Myślę, że trafia w sedno dla tak wielu z nas tutaj. To kwintesencja historii z Kickstartera, prawda? Balansowanie, a często żonglowanie, między koniecznością pracy na etacie a płonącym pragnieniem projektu pasji.

    Moja “praca na etacie” to zarządzanie projektami IT. Jest stabilna, pozwala opłacać rachunki i nauczyłem się w niej mnóstwo o organizacji i logistyce – umiejętnościach, które są zaskakująco przydatne gdzie indziej! Jest uporządkowana, przewidywalna i, szczerze mówiąc, czasem stanowi mentalną przerwę od kreatywnego chaosu.

    Ale moja prawdziwa pasja, ta, która trzyma mnie do późna i wypełnia moje weekendy, to rozwijanie systemu RPG. Nazywa się ‘Echoes of Aethelgard’, to świat fantasy, który buduję od lat, wraz z historią, unikalną mechaniką i dziesiątkami niestandardowych projektów potworów. Mam nadzieję, że w ciągu najbliższego roku uruchomię Kickstartera dla tego projektu, gdy wszystkie grafiki i główny podręcznik zasad zostaną sfinalizowane.

    Jednak to żonglowanie jest prawdziwe! Po całym dniu spotkań i terminów, przestawienie się na twórcze budowanie świata i tworzenie zasad może być trudne. Często napędza mnie czysta upartość i trochę za dużo kawy. Jednak nie ma nic lepszego niż widzieć, jak postacie ożywają, czy projektować system, który naprawdę ekscytuje ludzi podczas testów. To tam czuję się naprawdę żywy i mogę wlać całą swoją kreatywną energię. Marzeniem jest oczywiście, aby ‘Echoes of Aethelgard’ pewnego dnia stało się czymś więcej niż tylko projektem pasji, być może nawet zrównoważonym przedsięwzięciem.

    Zawsze jest tak wiele do nauczenia się – od strategii crowdfundingowych po produkcję, marketing i budowanie społeczności. Znalezienie właściwych informacji i inspiracji jest kluczowe. Stale szukam dobrego zasobu, który destyluje złożone tematy w praktyczne porady, czy to dotyczące projektowania gier, zarządzania projektami, czy nawet po prostu kreatywnej motywacji.

    Więc chciałbym usłyszeć więcej od was wszystkich! Jaka jest wasza praca na etacie i jaki jest ten projekt pasji, który naprawdę sprawia, że serce wam śpiewa, pomimo codziennego znoju?

    Z niecierpliwością czekam na wasze historie!
    Serial backer & tech enthusiast. Searching for the next big thing, one pledge at a time.
