Velocity Kick Platform Improves Campaign Results for All

BOULDER, Colo. and SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Crowdfunding entrepreneurs and lean startup enthusiasts now have a new way to streamline outreach and improve the effectiveness of their crowdfunding campaigns. Velocity Kick, a new service making its debut at the 2014 LAUNCH Festival in San Francisco, radically reduces the time spent organizing contacts and prioritizing messaging, making it easy to undertake crowdfunding efforts.

With Velocity Kick, duplicated outreach is reduced and contact lists are sorted into groups, making unique message-targeting easy. Velocity Kick's first generation tool takes contacts from team members working on the same project and quickly merges and organizes them for use in campaigns. Velocity Kick is currently running a $15,000 campaign of its own on the LAUNCH Hackathon winning platform, Ramen.

Velocity Kick is the first purpose-built crowdfunding cloud service that offers a toolset for businesses and individuals seeking to improve campaign results.  Upon completion of its own campaign, Velocity Kick's planning tools and data-driven strategic outreach assistance will be only a few clicks away for campaign managers across the globe and across multiple platforms.

"We're already seeing money stream in from entrepreneurs who have run successful campaigns north of $1 million dollars and their comments are all the same," said Josh Baylin, the founder of Velocity Kick.  "They've told us that if they'd had these tools to help with various pieces of the planning and execution phases, it would have really helped reduce preparation time and provided them the insights to activate the right networks from the start of their campaign."

Initially, Velocity Kick will be supporting campaign managers with targeted lists and data-driven campaign strategy insights.  It will evolve into a full suite of tools aimed at improving campaign planning, execution and results.

"Having been a contributor to crowdfunding campaigns, and having experience working with many startups who needed to raise money, seeing what Velocity Kick is doing clearly makes things far easier, faster and more rewarding," said Andy Abramson, CEO of Comunicano, the Del Mar, CA based value-creation communications agency. "The rapid merging and de-duping of the entire team's contacts that reside in social networks and traditional address books means faster outreach, without annoying duplication. Velocity Kick reaches the audience the right way, the first time."
