Does your lack of funds get in the way of launching a successful business? 

In this episode, Vance Lee talks about crowdfunding, its advantages, and disadvantages that could help you assess if this is right for you.

Vance co-founded the Playground Theory that helps eCom entrepreneurs grow and transform their brands.

Quotes

“If I were to be super stubborn about my ideas of how I thought this is going to work, to be able to screen and scale this brand, I probably wouldn't be able to have all these interesting ways to explore if it's going to be more effective, or maybe equally effective, whatever it might be. Just being open-minded to challenging what you know, is going to be super important.” - Vance Lee
