In 2012 I decided to pursue an idea I had to develop a surfing journal app called Surfr.

At that time, I already had one app on the App Store called Promtr that was self-funded and generating some revenue. However, I knew that Surfr was going to cost considerably more to develop and it was pretty unclear how I was going to afford to fund the project. After reading about a project on a website called Kickstarter, I decided to dive into the world of crowdfunding and successfully navigated my way through tutorials, best practices and the application process.
