Description

Do you think a board game can change how people connect?

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, I sit down with Phil Parkinson, the entrepreneur who raised over $115,000 for his game Know Thyself, a social tool disguised as a board game.

He turned his non-game background into a strength. He built a meaningful idea. He built an audience. He built assets.

You'll discover:

  • Why launching a board game today means more than fantasy and meeples

  • How a $1 pre-launch splash page can create a wave of backers at launch

  • Why is customer service after the pledge part of your marketing engine

This episode is packed with insight for anyone launching a crowdfunding campaign, especially if you're navigating a saturated category. Ready to build a real human connection through your project? Then dive in now.
