Most Campaign Budgets Break During Fulfillment
I've watched too many projects hit their funding goal and then struggle for months because nobody planned for actual production realities. Manufacturing quotes change. Shipping rates jump. Currency fluctuations eat margins.
We teach budget construction that accounts for these shifts before they become crisis moments. You'll learn how to build contingency layers that protect your campaign without inflating your funding goal to unrealistic levels.
What You Actually Learn Here
These modules came from fixing real campaigns that went sideways. Each one addresses a specific breakdown point we've seen multiple times.
Pre-Launch Cost Mapping
Building comprehensive expense forecasts that capture prototype costs, marketing spend, platform fees, and those hidden expenses that always appear right before launch.
Contingency Structure
Creating buffer systems that protect against manufacturing delays, shipping disruptions, and currency shifts without making your funding goal look inflated or unrealistic.
Fulfillment Timeline Planning
Mapping production schedules, supplier lead times, and delivery windows that actually work when you're coordinating multiple manufacturers across different countries.
Stretch Goal Economics
Calculating which stretch goals improve your margins versus which ones add complexity that eats your contingency. Most creators get this backwards.
Payment Processing Reality
Understanding how platform fees, payment processor cuts, VAT collection, and currency conversion actually impact your available funds once the campaign closes.
Post-Campaign Cash Flow
Managing the gap between receiving funds and paying manufacturers. This period breaks more campaigns than any other phase, yet most budget planning ignores it entirely.

Who This Program Actually Helps
We designed this for creators who understand their product but get lost in the financial maze of campaign logistics. The math isn't complicated, but the variables multiply fast when you're dealing with international manufacturing.
