LaunchBoom Reviews 172

The following is a review of my experience working with their Board Game Crowdfunding Package.

There is a lot that goes into putting together a crowdfunding campaign, and if you are starting from scratch, I would be hard-pressed to find a better place to direct you towards than LaunchBoom. It is very much akin to a top-notch crowdfunding bootcamp. This program will save you more than your initial investment by helping you navigate around pitfalls alone.

If you have successfully funded campaigns in the past, as I have, then you may or may not find value here. There is no revolutionary insight to be found that isn't already in the Crowdfunded book. However, there are some useful tools and integrations in the LaunchKit platform that help in refining your messaging and gauging market interest.

PROS
- Well-organized information
- Active community of board game publishers
- Helpful and encouraging staff
- Direct line to Kickstarter to ensure you are a "Project They Love"

CONS
- None at all if you are just breaking into the space and looking to start your first crowdfunding project.

We had a great experience with the Launchboom consulting program! The cost of the program was something that worked with our budget and we definitely "got our money's worth" with everything we learned along the way (as well as the advice and feedback we received before launching our campaign). The knowledge and skills learned are priceless. That being said, if you are not computer savvy I do see some aspects of the program being a little tricky, but that is kind of the nature of launching a crowdfunding campaign. The team at Launchboom was always super helpful and patient :-) Would definitely recommend!

We used LaunchBoom for our Modi Boxi Kickstarter project, which became the most backed 3D printable project on Kickstarter, attracting over 6,800 backers. We couldn't have done it without LaunchBoom. Their videos, tutorials, and hands-on oversight helped us learn what was needed to run a successful precampaign and convert that into a massively successful project. If you are doing a Kickstarter, you should use them. It will take you to the next level.

The team at Launch Boom is thoughtful, and willing to help in any way they can. The process works, and you'll learn a ton along the way, especially if you aren't familiar with advertising concepts.

Can highly recommend the team and the whole process. This was my first Kickstarter and we debated a few different marketing agencies to support us and I'm so glad we chose Launchboom.
1. The LB program is very well executed. 2. The team is incredible. Victor and Maria went above and beyond to help me and I'm so grateful for their support 3. The community of fellow board game creators is amazing and made the whole experience so much better. 4. My board game funded on Kickstarter in 9 minutes. The fee is well worth it!

We want to give a shoutout to the LaunchBoom team for being an important partner in our Kickstarter journey. We first did our campaign without LaunchBoom and raised $25k. After canceling the campaign and bringing LaunchBoom on board our relaunch raised $50k on the first day and eventually $150k. We could not have done this without the support of the amazing team at LaunchBoom.

Justin, Hera, and Soren have shown utmost professionalism and expertise in helping us navigate the prelaunch and launch landscape, which was critical for us as a first time creators. Justin's quick response and sharp assessment of our ad performance and recommendations during crucial stages prelaunch and launch, was valuable and helped us move quickly.

Post campaign, Victor, Spencer, and Kevin have been very generous with their advice moving forward. I really appreciate their sharing. It's just great to be able to share with and hear from people who understand creators and have been in the trenches themselves, and are happy to support creators. The access to a seasoned team at LaunchBoom as well as a community of creators is a huge plus!

I highly recommend LaunchBoom and look forward to working with them in future!

Crowdfunding is complicated, time consuming, and risky. Thankfully we decided to use Launchbooms innovative hands-on approach which saved us money on commission fees and better prepared us for the intricacies of online marketing and product development. The dedication and effort you invest in utilizing their resources directly correlates with the success of your Kickstarter campaign and your ability to lay the groundwork for a thriving business.

Besides having access to a team of experienced professionals, you’ll also be welcomed into a vibrant community of like-minded creators. This collective is all about sharing valuable resources, offering insights, and providing mutual support during both the challenging and exhilarating phases of launching a product.

Launchboom has mastered the art of creating the perfect ecosystem for crowdfunding success. Everything, from the affordability to the comprehensive learning modules and robust community support, is tailored to ensure your campaign reaches its highest potential. Without their invaluable support, our campaign might have gone unnoticed. Launchboom has truly been transformative for us, turning what could have been a ripple into a wave.

LaunchBoom was an invaluable ally in helping make our very first Kickstarter campaign a record-breaking success, raising more than $4 Million in the hyper-competitive tabletop games market and breaking the record of highest-grossing D&D Kickstarter of all time.

When we first decided to launch a Kickstarter campaign to build out a game publishing wing of our company, we already had a clear vision and a large, passionate audience. However, we were ignorant on the actual steps to successfully run a campaign. LaunchBoom proved to be the final missing piece and solved that problem for us.

The LaunchBoom system truly makes the process "idiot proof," with extremely clear step-by-step instructions from point A to point Z. This framework was the perfect starting point to then customize with the varying experience and expertise of our own team members and the unique aspects of our project.

Then, the consistent communication and collaboration with our dedicated LaunchBoom expert, the incredible Spencer Knowlton, equipped us to run a smart and efficient pre-launch campaign that was monumentally successful and absolutely critical to break day-1 TTRPG records (at the time).

Simply put, the LaunchBoom VIP system works and provides actual data and the hard numbers to fairly accurately predict initial success levels, which was invaluable in our planning and investments pre-launch

That said, LaunchBoom is not a magic elixir that will turn just any campaign into a roaring success. We came into the partnership with our own business experience, clear vision, quality product, and passionate community, and any successful campaign will require all of the above.

However, LaunchBoom was the perfect catalyst to the fire we had already been kindling, and the synergistic skillsets allowed it to blaze into a huge success beyond any of our wildest dreams.

If you have an excellent product, a strong vision, and the passion to do the necessary work, LaunchBoom will be a tremendous partner in kickstarting your dreams.

The best in the crowdfunding space ! 5 stars all the way !

I would have never been able to launch my Kickstarter campaign without Launchboom! I am so thankful to their team of experts in crowdfunding. I evaluated many services before choosing LaunchBoom and realized, that Launchboom is the most reputable agency who really gives each client enough attention and care. I knew exactly all the steps to launch and manage my Kickstarter. I was able to get 200K+ in funding. I highly recommend Launchboom to anyone who considers using Kickstarter or Indiegogo to launch their products.
Thank you Mark, Joe, Soren, Hera, Justin. You are the best!

The LaunchBoom team was critical to our Kickstarter campaign success. It was our first campaign and we had lots of questions and needed guidance. They were very responsive and really cared about each and every aspect of making our campaign a success. The LaunchBoom education materials provided a great foundation to build on and execute from for someone new to crowdfunding. Highly Recommend!

Fantastic company with amazing people to collaborate with! My experience with Sourceboom has been nothing short of outstanding. Following an enlightening initial conversation with Director Joe, where he provided valuable insights into what Sourceboom has to offer, I enthusiastically embraced the opportunity.

Navigating supply challenges can be a scary task, especially when armed only with self-acquired knowledge. Attempting to overcome these hurdles by relying solely on YouTube tutorials and Google research can prove to be not only costly but also jeopardize the success of your business in the long run. Sourceboom, however, presents a comprehensive solution - a robust framework that propels you forward, constant motivation, and invaluable support through weekly discussions with fellow entrepreneurs who share similar ambitions.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sourceboom to anyone seeking a complete package that not only addresses supply chain challenges but also fosters a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Their commitment to your success is evident in the consistent assistance and encouragement provided. Sourceboom has truly set a standard for excellence in the industry.

LaunchBoom was instrumental in supporting the Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns of lodge outdoor. They did a thorough job of researching and identifying the market and customers that our premium audio product would appeal to. Their marketing strategy helped lodge to capture strong interest and support from the crowdfunding community. Our Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns were very successful and Launchboom played a key role in that.

The team at LaunchBoom / SourceBoom is exactly what I was looking for when developing my products. Their expertise and systematic approach to manufacturing and launching original products includes detailed, evidence-based information that is more in-depth than I have found elsewhere on the internet.

LaunchBoom and SourceBoom leaders have created pragmatic, controlled, and data-driven programs for the art of launching new products and new brands. The step-by-step methods are supported by field experts with several weekly opportunities to meet in office hours. One suggestion to improve LaunchBoom is to quickly route clients to service partners that can walk clients through Facebook Ads Manager, branding, copy, visual assets, audience analysis, etc. This can also be done in a data-driven approach with partners taking time to understand the client's brand to help optimize the campaigns, avoid delays in the launch process, and ultimately guide more clients to successful crowdfunding. Partners could observe office hours and stand by to assist clients offline to resolve any problems (for a fee of course).

LaunchBoom: The LaunchBoom system really works, and the whole team knows their stuff! From ad creatives to copy to budgeting to lead generation, they work with you to make your campaign successful. I wish I found LaunchBoom sooner!

SourceBoom: Joe and Kian's expertise helped me greatly to navigate the tedious process of finding a suitable manufacturer. I have a complicated product with many different parts and materials, and they helped me follow through on all aspects, such as sample production, contract reviews, quality-testing, etc.

I definitely recommend both programs, not only for a successful campaign, but to be able to fulfill it with quality and timeliness.

I signed up with LaunchBoom to help launch my first Kickstarter campaign, and it was the best choice I could have made. They took what was about to be a lackluster campaign, and turned it into something huge and special.

The consultants there gave me expert guidance every step of the way, and my project was a massive success, growing well into six-figure funding.

Because they were able to make my launch so huge and successful, I was able to scale into e-commerce easily, and had a lot of doors open up for me due to the amount of social proof that comes with running such a big Kickstarter campaign.

The success of my project and now full-on new business venture was almost entirely because of the guidance I received from Hera and the other consultants at LaunchBoom. Now that I can take more of a zoomed-out view of everything, it's crazy how all these little things Hera guided me on all came together in this big crescendo of success. Her attention to detail, lightning-fast problem solving, and dedication to my project was both inspiring and intimidating haha! As someone who does a lot of hiring/staffing/replacing at my other job, I know first hand that someone of that caliber is pretty much one in a million. The whole LaunchBoom staff is a team of super-talents.

I hope to have the honor of working with Hera and the rest of the LaunchBoom team again soon!

The best Kickstarter company you can choose to work with. They make the process of funding your idea so much easier than if you try to do it on your own. We had a really successful Kickstarter campaign and working with them is a breeze. They always give 110% in everything they do and are always there to answer any questions you have. Cannot recommend them enough. Just love the energy and environment they create for you to grow and succeed. Amazing people!

LaunchBoom was integral in the launch of our milk steaming solution, the Morning Dream on Kickstarter. They were on point with the design, implementation and optimisation of our lead generation and ad campaign. Always prompt with their responses and very professional and knowledgeable on the technical aspects of setting up a Kickstarter campaign. We at Morning would highly recommend them to any brands that are thinking of launching a crowdfunding campaign and need a platform to do so!
