Should I run crowdfunding or go the VC route? What would you support?
If you came across a new, innovative social platform in the works, something different from the usual. would you be more likely to support it through crowdfunding or expect it to go the VC route?
I’m genuinely curious about the mindset around this:
Would you back a platform early if it meant getting perks like lifetime access, exclusive features, or AI tools in return?
Or do you feel more confident in platforms that raise VC funding first?
What would make you want to be part of something early, before launch?
Let’s talk! I’d love to hear what would motivate you to support a new platform from the start.

It's an interesting question!
I think it's beyond just the crowdfunding or VC -- it would me more about unique value (and communicated clearly), how involved/passionate the founder is, quality of artifacts and more. But if everything is equal, i think the tilt will be towards VC.
