The Ambition of Brandon T. Adams: Crowdfunding Expert With a Mission
Brandon T. Adams is on a mission to use crowdfunding to make a difference in young peoples’ lives.
His journey into crowdfunding began in 2012 when, while studying at Iowa State University, he invented the Arctic Stick, a new innovate product that could be used to flavor drinks and keep liquids cool. The Arctic Stick was featured in the USAToday.com, the Des Moines Register, KCWI-TV and WHO Radio. In August 2014, the Arctic Stick also raised $25,000 in a successful Kickstarter campaign.
After learning everything from design to marketing to pitching to crowdfunding, Brandon sought to teach others how to replicate his success. In February 2015, he launched The University of Young Entrepreneurs to help out those looking to get a jump-start on entrepreneurship at a young age. The effort includes online courses and a podcast, and soon webcasts and a publishing arm.
Through another successful Kickstarter campaign, Brandon also started the Young Entrepreneurs Convention, which brings together entrepreneurs, inventors, and influentials to push forward the next generation of leaders in the country - and the world.
To reach even more people, Brandon authored“Keys to the Crowd: Unlocking the Power of Crowdfunding”, which he later expanded into a support system to help people create and launch successful crowdfunding campaigns for their ventures.
He’s currently also hard at work bringing his crowdfunding prowess to a new Kickstarter campaign he started with Greg Rollett called Ambitious Adventures. It is a reality TV show showcasing innovative cities and its entrepreneurs.
When he’s not travelling the country working on his projects, Brandon likes to spend his time outdoors in his home state of Iowa exercising, running, and camping.
Ambitious Adventures is about hope. All it takes is one episode, one inspirational story, one moment to change someone’s life. The way we tell stories can do that. The way we market and promote our shows can do that. The entrepreneurs we are featuring can do that. And you can help us to do that by pledging to our Kickstarter campaign.
