Kick it Up Updates
November 16, 2013
We’re getting ready to feature and promote Kickstarter campaigns through Newhouse’s Kick it Up Crowdfunding Training and Acceleration program. Here are a couple of important updates.
Crowdfunding for Media Rescheduled to February
Due to some unavoidable scheduling conflicts at Kickstarter, the “Crowdfunding for Media” event originally planned for November 19 will be rescheduled to sometime in February. We know that many of you were looking forward to meeting with Kickstarter and getting advice on your campaigns, and we apologize for any inconvenience this causes you. Fortunately, Kickstarter’s Stephanie Pereira provided a lot of useful information in a Webinar in October, which you can watch here. We also highly recommend that you take an hour to go through the information at Kickstarter School.
But Keep Working on Your Campaigns!
While the crowdfunding event date is changing, we are still planning to start featuring and promoting Newhouse students campaigns beginning Wednesday, November 20. If you’re interested in receiving matching funds from Newhouse, make sure you do the following:
- Sign in to Kickstarter.com and request a connection with the Newhouse network. We can’t feature your campaign on the Newhouse curated page until you connect with us.
- Begin your Kickstarter campaign, and let us know it’s live so that we can feature it. We will feature any campaign from a Newhouse student as long as it meets the same quality standard for publication that you are used to in a Newhouse class, or a site like TheNewhouse.com. Since Kickstarter reviews and approves every campaign on its site, make sure you allow enough time for their approval.
- After your campaign is live, you can apply for matching funds from Newhouse.
Have questions? Fill out our contact form and we’ll get back to you.
Good luck!
