Before launching successful Kickstarter campaigns, he spent years trying to build a technology company from scratch—with no marketing experience, no crowdfunding knowledge, and very little money. In this episode of the Crowdfunding Demystified podcast, host Salvador Briggman sits down with Serdar to talk about his journey from mechanical engineer to founder of multiple crowdfunded products. His first product—a gimbal he began developing in 2015—was supposed to take six months. Instead, it took three and a half years. During that time, he worked 16 hours a…
