<strong>Corcoran</strong><br />
just kept<br />
swimming. It’s<br />
a story whose<br />
waves reveal a<br />
pattern: to take<br />
a hit and take<br />
advantage of<br />
hard times,<br />
always look for<br />
opportunities<br />
to exploit.<br />
One such opportunity<br />
today, <strong>Corcoran</strong> believes,<br />
is crowdfunding. It allows<br />
anybody to pitch their idea<br />
to the Internet and solicit<br />
small contributions from<br />
thousands of backers, which<br />
can propel entrepreneurs<br />
over the prime barrier to<br />
business: money.<br />
“I would say that at least<br />
40 percent of all the<br />
entrepreneurs that we met<br />
on Shark Tank already had<br />
raised a lot of money online<br />
through crowdfunding,” she<br />
says.<br />
You can teach yourself how<br />
to crowdfund. Analyze<br />
successful crowdfunding<br />
campaigns. Watch their<br />
videos. Read their copy. See<br />
their products. Figure out<br />
what works.<br />
