As an entrepreneur, I see the world a bit differently. Since I have never had a full-time job or received much training at my part-time work, I have always gone with my gut on how certain tasks should be approached.
While experience has its benefits, in my experience, inexperience can lead to innovation and out-of-the-box thinking. That is how I approached my idea for Valuation App, a mobile app for financial analysis. I did not have the money or the marketing resources to get an app built and promoted, so I used crowdfunding as a means to finance it. Using just a deck, I raised money from 57 people to crowdfund the app’s expenses. I requested $11 from each person and raised close to $4,000. It worked — the app is now available on Android and iOS, and even led to my next venture.
