NextGen Founder and CEO, Aubrey Chernick, shared:
“We are thrilled with the success of the first season of the CVAs. The CVAs allowed us to highlight the creativity of over 100 crowdfunding campaigns and invite millions of viewers to watch and participate by voting for the videos that most effectively motivated viewers to learn more about the crowdfunding campaigns they were created to promote. It’s exciting to know that we were able to bring these campaigns new fans and supporters to help them succeed.”
Mous Co-Founder, James Day, added:
“We really wanted to disrupt the boring phone accessory industry and push the limits. We are really glad that people got onboard with our campaign and voted for us. Thanks to the CVAs, we now have the opportunity to drive our brand and product even further.”
Supporters of the CVAs include Crowdfunding Professional Association (CFPA), OurCrowd, SeedInvest, StartEngine, Republic, and WeFunder, along with Crowdfund Beat and Crowdfund Insider.
