Kathleen Minogue is a creative at heart and a former educator who never imagined a future in finance. But during the dot-com boom, an unexpected opportunity at JP Morgan changed her trajectory. While working there, she noticed a striking gap: those seeking venture capital rarely came from creative fields. It wasn't until she helped crowdfund a film she produced that she discovered the power of crowdfunding and found her true calling.   -Chapters- 00:00 Introduction and background 5:31 Entrepreneurial background 7:03 Overcoming nerves 10:12 Going from side hustle to small business 20:06 Mistakes in crowdfunding 23:34 Setting boundaries 25:55 Reflecting back on the business 31:05 Advice for other entrepreneurs 32:03 Closing and contact

In dieser Episode des Brettspiel-News-Podcasts besprechen wir aktuelle Themen aus der Welt der Brettspiele und Crowdfunding. Ich bin Peter, und ich habe zusammen mit Dennis, Daniel und René spannende neue Einsichten und Perspektiven eingefangen. René, der sich auf Crowdfunding-Spielprojekte spezialisiert hat, teilt seine Erfahrungen und seine Faszination für das Thema, während wir auch zu den neuesten Entwicklungen bei Zombicide und Asmodee überleiten. Zombicide hat kürzlich die Besitzer gewechselt, und wir diskutieren die Auswirkungen dieses Wechsels auf bestehende Kickstarter-Projekte und die Marke selbst. René erklärt, wie sein Einstieg in die Kickstarter-Welt mit Zombicide begann und welche verschiedenen Titel in den letzten Jahren erschienen sind. Dabei wird die Frage laut, wie Asmodee das Franchise nutzen möchte und ob sie angesichts der Marktsättigung mit neuen Ansätzen punkten können. Danach stellen wir einige spannende neue Spiele vor. Dennis präsentiert Robot Quest Arena und gibt einen ersten Eindruck, wie sich das Spiel spielt und wo es seine Stärken, aber auch Schwächen hat. Peter erzählt von seiner Erfahrung mit Star Trek Star Realms, einem Spiel, das durch seine grafische Aufmachung enttäuscht hat. Wir diskutieren, wie Grafiken und Mechaniken bei einem Spiel miteinander harmonieren sollten, während wir unsere Meinungen darüber austauschen, was gut und was weniger gelungen ist. Ein weiteres Highlight ist Toy Battle, vorgestellt von Peter, das als schnell spielendes 1-gegen-1-Spiel beschrieben wird. Die Mischung aus Strategie und schnellem Gameplay begeistert ihn und bringt frischen Wind in unsere Diskussionen. René thematisiert das Spiel Etherfields, das aufgrund seiner komplexen Erzählweise und innovativen Mechaniken zu den Höhepunkten des Abends gehört. Wir geraten in eine amüsante Debatte über Fantasy Ranch, ein Spiel für Familien, das besonderes Augenmerk auf die Entwicklung von Pferden legt. Trotz des kindlichen Themas sind die Mechaniken erfrischend tief; wir kommentieren, dass das Spiel Potenzial hat, die Spieler über die Zeit hinweg zu fesseln. Wir schließen mit einem Rätselspiel ab und fordern unsere Zuhörer heraus, während wir die sehr lebhafte und unterhaltsame Diskussion spiegeln. Mit vielfältigen Themen und Einblicken in die Welt der Brettspiele bieten wir auch in dieser Episode reichlich Material für leidenschaftliche Spieleliebhaber.Rätsel: Zeit und RaumEinsendungen bitte an podcast@brettspiel-news.deTüdelüEuer FeedbackIhr habt Feedback zu dem Podcast und Themen- oder Gastwünsche?

Cloudastructure has raised over $57 million to transform video surveillance from a passive recording tool into an active crime prevention platform. What started as a solution born from a laptop theft in a South of Market office has evolved into an AI-powered service that protects multifamily properties across the country. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we spoke with Rick Bentley, founder of Cloudastructure, about his unconventional path to building a category-defining company—from working at the legendary General Magic to self-funding his startup by working as a contractor in Baghdad. Topics Discussed: How a laptop theft incident revealed the fundamental flaws in traditional video surveillance systems The breakthrough moment when Google open-sourced TensorFlow in 2015 and its impact on computer vision Cloudastructure's pivot from broad security applications to finding product-market fit in multifamily properties The company's unique crowdfunding success, raising $35 million from 13,000 individual investors Building a hybrid AI-human monitoring system with guards operating from India The technical evolution from basic object detection to holistic, cross-camera intelligence using LLM-like systems GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Timing technology waves requires patience and resourcefulness: Rick spent over a decade keeping his cloud video vision alive before the infrastructure caught up. He recognized that Moore's Law would eventually make broadband faster than video files would grow larger, solving the technical constraints. He funded the company through consulting work, including a dangerous stint in Baghdad, demonstrating that sometimes founders need to get creative about survival during technology transition periods. B2B founders should identify self-resolving technical limitations and prepare to bridge the gap through alternative revenue streams. Vertical expertise beats broad horizontal approaches: Cloudastructure's breakthrough came when they hired Whitney, a VP of sales with deep multifamily industry relationships. She brought not just contacts but intimate knowledge of purchasing processes, budgets, and pain points specific to property management companies. Rick noted, "She knew what their budgets were, what their approval processes were, what their pain points were." B2B founders should prioritize hiring salespeople with vertical domain expertise over generalist sales talent when targeting specific industries. Product-market fit emerges from pain intensity, not market size: The multifamily space proved ideal not because of its size, but because of the acute pain property managers experience. Rick explained the stark difference: "The next morning you could have a dozen people in your leasing office because their cars got broken into last night" versus "an email that says these guys showed up, we did a talk down, they ran away." B2B founders should prioritize markets where their solution prevents catastrophic scenarios over those with mild inconveniences, even if the latter appears larger. Crowdfunding can validate B2B concepts when VCs miss the opportunity: After traditional VCs dismissed Cloudastructure as too late to market, Rick raised $35 million through crowdfunding with 13,000 individual investors. This approach not only provided capital but validated market demand from a broader audience. The success came from clearly articulating the value proposition to non-technical investors who could understand the basic premise of preventing crime versus just recording it. B2B founders facing VC skepticism should consider alternative funding sources that might better appreciate their value proposition. Build the full stack when integration creates competitive advantage: Cloudastructure didn't just provide software—they built the entire monitoring infrastructure, including training guards, developing custom interfaces, and managing the complete service delivery. Rick emphasized, "You can't just hop on Fiverr or whatever and say, I need someone to do this. You need to build the tools for them." This vertical integration created defensible value that pure software solutions couldn't match. B2B founders should consider owning more of the value chain when seamless integration significantly improves customer outcomes.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

I thought you needed tens of thousands (or more) followers to pull off a successful crowdfunding campaign to raise money for your music. I was wrong, you don't! Frankly, I knew very little about crowdfunding to raise money for music (or any other type of project). When Kevin McNoldy was doing his excellent TAXI TV episode about music mastering a few weeks ago, he mentioned that he knew quite a bit about it. He wasn't kidding!!! And the most surprising thing I learned while taping this episode is that you don't need to have a huge fanbase, following, or email list to raise money! Of course, you'll raise more money if you have a huge fanbase, but Kevin is going to tell you how to raise a significant amount with very few, or practically no, fans.

 Lex chats with Avlok Kohli - the CEO of AngelList, about the company's significant evolution. Initially a platform for startups to connect with venture capitalists, AngelList has transformed into a comprehensive fintech entity encompassing private equity and cryptocurrency. Avlok discusses the strategic pivots, including the introduction of syndicates and rolling funds, that have redefined the company's business model. The episode also explores the broader implications of crowdfunding and the unique challenges in the crypto space, offering a deep dive into AngelList's impact on the financial services industry. Notable discussion points: 1. AngelList's Second Founding: Reinvention as a Fintech Platform: Since 2019, AngelList has transformed from a mixed-use startup platform into a focused fintech infrastructure business for fund managers. Avlok Kohli spun out the syndicates arm and built a scalable product offering that includes SPVs, venture funds, and innovative structures like Rolling Funds and Roll Up Vehicles. This pivot catalyzed explosive growth—from ~$1B in AUM in 2019 to $171B+ today—by enabling fund creation and deployment at scale. 2. Product Innovation as a Strategic Advantage: Instead of competing with well-capitalized incumbents like Carta on sales and marketing, AngelList focused on building category-defining products. The launch of Rolling Funds—allowing fund managers to raise publicly and continuously—was a breakout moment. It created viral word-of-mouth growth and redefined how emerging fund managers could access capital, illustrating the principle: “You can't win by playing someone else's game.” 3. AI and the Future of Private Markets Infrastructure: AngelList is embedding AI across three strategic layers: (1) Back-office automation, replacing manual workflows, (2) Customer service enhancement, enabling agents to respond to LPs with real-time data, and (3) Data reasoning products, like Fin, which analyzes anonymized fund and secondary data to deliver actionable private market insightsThis positions AngelList not only as an admin platform but as a data intelligence layer over the private capital markets. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Fintech, Web3, Venture, VC, Venture capital, private markets, fundraising, crowdfunding, crypto, web3, AI, Angellist, Coinlist, Carta, Gumroad ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

Welcome to Season 5 of There Are No Girls on the Internet We're kicking things off with a powerful and timely conversation. Bridget speaks with activist, entrepreneur and creator Kiandria Demone, the visionary behind the viral #SquareUpForJustice campaign. After a white woman in Minnesota hurled a racial slur at a 5-year-old Black child and then raised nearly $1 million online, Kiandria stepped up to challenge the systems that made it possible. Her campaign holds payment platforms accountable for enabling and profiting from hate. In this episode, Kiandria explains why this isn’t just a race issue—it’s a tech accountability issue. She shares how her digital activism is helping expose and shut down racist profiteering, and what it means to find strength in online communities during heavy times. . .

This week, in Episode 246, we meet Ben Knepler, who, along with his True Places co-founder Nelson Warley, came up with an idea for an outdoor chair that they believe could be a game-changer. They liked the idea so much that they quit their corporate jobs, they raised money, they borrowed money—putting their own homes at risk—they fought through the pandemic, they found a manufacturer in China, they launched on Kickstarter, they found another manufacturer in Cambodia, and then they ran smack into the brick wall of President Trump's second-term tariffs. Or, as George Harrison almost put it, “If you try to sit, I'll tax your … sturdy, portable, folding chair that could create a whole new category of high-end outdoor products except you'll probably have to try to sell them in some other country … ‘cause I'm the tariff man.”

Tyler James leads an awesome discussion featuring first-time crowdfunders Justin Dunn & Eric Tomeo, first-time crowdfunders of Ballad of Dust & Blood, along with veteran crowdfunders Karl Kerschl, creator of Death Transit Magpie, and Clay Adams - Creator of Blazing Blade of Frankenstein, as they dive deep into the world of Kickstarter campaigns for comic books.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to introduce the next film, (ON NETFLIX) "Really Love." Set in contemporary Washington D.C., a rising black painter strives to break into the competitive art world, while balancing a bittersweet romance he never expected. The film stars Kofi Siriboe and Yootha Wong-Loi-Sing. The random topic of the week is about a white woman (Shiloh Hendrix) who was caught on camera calling an autistic 5 year old Black boy the N-word. She then decided to instead of apologize, she'd rather lean into her racism and began raising over $700,000 on a Christian crowd funding website.NOTE: The funds have been since frozen by the bank involved post our recording

To cap off the first 100 days of his administration, Trump sparred at length with Kristen Welker of NBC's Meet the Press over his record so far—from immigration successes to choppy economic waters. Alarmed by Trump's use of emergency powers in rolling out this agenda, David Linker at the New York Times draws some loose connections—to say the least—between Trump, Claremont, and Carl Schmitt. Meanwhile, Shiloh Hendricks has raised over $700 thousand from supporters after a video of her using the n-word prompted threats of retaliation. The guys discuss Trump's first months, midterm prospects, and our climate of race politics. Plus: media recommendations!
