Ready to dive into the world of crowdfunding with a twist? In Episode 216 of Crowdfunding Nerds, Sean and Andrew, unravel the mysteries of Gamefound's new advertising platform, AdFound. Could this be the game-changer creators have been waiting for, or is it just another player in the crowdfunding arena? We dissect AdFound’s competitive edge—offering a mere 5% fee on conversions compared to BackerKit’s 15%—but is cheaper always better? We also tackle the crucial question of data ownership and the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on centralized systems like Gamefound. Join us as we compare Gamefound’s claims of being the top dog in board game crowdfunding against Kickstarter, and explore the real stories of creators like Dwarven Forge and The Dice Tower. Can smaller creators thrive on Gamefound, or do they risk losing their magic touch? Tune in to find out and discover why maintaining your own marketing infrastructure is more vital than ever!
