Indie Consulting services
Wide-ranging, innovative indie consulting services for the arts, including specific help with indie crowdfunding and more general indie funding assistance.
Indie Consulting and Funding Opportunities
- You have many opportunities for raising funds for your TV series, game, or music, including traditional bank financing; finding large angel investors and VC firms; or developing an equity, debt, rewards, or royalty-based crowdfunding campaign. We can give you the data and information you need to decide which one might be best for your unique needs. We can model your chances for success with each method, the short- and long-term positives and drawbacks of each choice, and the steps it would take to pursue each one. These services are free, and we carry no biases – we will present all of your opportunities without focusing on one or another.
Developing and Modifying Your Pitch
- Once a crowdfunding platform accepts you, we can help you design your pitch to make it as compelling as possible, standing out from the crowded field of independent TV, game, or music pitches. We’ll help you transform their template into a presentation that attracts and motivates investors by stating your case clearly and powerfully. We’ll also help you design updates and time them perfectly as your campaign continues. And finally, we’ll give guidance as needed regarding how to answer investor inquiries in the Q&A section. We can also offer add-on services, such as helping to contact “core” investors on each platform to see if they will invest and support your raise. And we can advocate for you with the platform to ensure they promote your raise.
Indie Funding Strategy Consulting
- Once you decide your direction we will help you choose among your many options. For crowdfunding or multi-investor pitches we’ll help you pick among the many platforms available. Which one has shown success with projects similar to yours, what will the cost be for each, and which one will support your project best and make the process as easy as possible? Then we will help you make a pitch to the platform and get the most favorable terms possible. For angel/VC investing or if you decide to crowdfund independently, we’ll guide you as to where you might make the connections you need, and how to pitch your project so that you are successful. Our Indie consulting services are guaranteed.
Indie Consulting Post-Raise
- As you grow and evolve as an independent TV, game, or music producer or company, you may need to make decisions about additional funding rounds. As before, we can help you decide what those campaigns might look like and your unique and compelling pitch. In particular, our indie arts services will help you deliver the message about how things have progressed and why more funding will accelerate or improve things. We will also help you craft updates to current investors, hoping they might join future rounds for new projects and that their excitement about their investment motivates them to spread the word. We will work with you throughout your journey, as your successes build, and you find new and greater opportunities.

Why We Love Indie Consulting
Indie consulting is grounded in our love for independent arts
Indie arts encompass a wide range of creative works produced outside of major commercial and institutional systems. This can include independent films, music, literature, theater, visual arts, and other forms of creative expression. Here are some key aspects of our services:
Creative Freedom
Indie artists often enjoy greater creative freedom compared to those working within mainstream industries. This allows for more experimental and unconventional approaches to art.
DIY Ethos
A “do-it-yourself” mentality is common in indie arts, with artists often taking on multiple roles in the creation, production, and distribution of their work.
Community and Collaboration
Indie arts scenes are often characterized by tight-knit communities and collaborative efforts among artists. These communities can provide support and resources that might not be available through traditional channels.
Alternative Spaces
Independent arts are often showcased in non-traditional venues such as small galleries, independent theaters, coffee shops, and online platforms.
Cultural Impact
Independent arts can have a significant cultural impact, often pushing boundaries and influencing mainstream trends.
Overcoming Challenges
Our indie funding services can help you predict and proactively address challenges. We can also be there when the unexpected happens.
Final thoughts
Keys to Success
Indie crowdfunding is a popular method for independent artists to finance their projects. Crowdfunding involves raising small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via online platforms. Here are some key points about indie crowdfunding:
Benefits of Indie Crowdfunding
1. Funding: Provides a way to secure necessary funds without traditional financing or loans.
2. Audience Building: Engages and builds a community of supporters who are invested in the project’s success.
3. Marketing and Exposure: Creates buzz and increases visibility for the project.
4. Feedback and Validation: Offers direct feedback from potential backers, helping artists refine their ideas.
Steps for a Successful Indie Funding Campaign
1. Planning: Define clear goals, create a budget, and develop a timeline. Research successful campaigns to understand best practices.
2. Compelling Story: Craft a compelling narrative that explains the project’s significance and impact. Use videos, images, and detailed descriptions to engage potential backers.
3. Rewards: Offer attractive rewards for different levels of support. These can range from digital downloads and merchandise to exclusive experiences or credits in the project.
4. Promotion: Use social media, email newsletters, and personal networks to promote the campaign. Engage with backers through updates and thank them for their support.
5. Execution: Once funded, keep backers informed of progress, deliver rewards on time, and maintain transparency about any challenges or delays.
Challenges You Might Face
1. Competition: Many projects compete for attention, so standing out can be difficult.
2. Fulfillment: Managing the production and delivery of rewards can be complex and time-consuming.
3. Funding Shortfall: Not all campaigns reach their funding goals, which can be discouraging and require re-evaluation of the project or approach.
Indie Crowdfunding has become an essential tool for indie artists to bring their projects to life. It leverages the power of community and digital connectivity to support creative endeavors that might otherwise struggle to find indie funding.
