VoicesHeardMedia: Must Have Tools for Serious Crowdfunding Campaigns

VoicesHeardMedia (VHM) is pioneering the advancement of user engagement on social space, and Funding Garage wants to jump on this bandwagon early. You might have noticed that we are already sporting a VHM Q&A Box on our pre-launch page, and we intend on maximizing its use leading up to and beyond the official launch.

Several months ago while Funding Garage was in the concept/research phase, we noticed that Autoblog.com was using VHM to tie in hundreds of thousands of strangers from all over the world to hold an organized discussion in one centralized web location. We see the power in this.

At first we had our doubts on whether VHM would even be interested in dealing with a start-up company in the conceptual phase because most of their existing clienteles are major media corporation (AOL, FOX) and celebrities (Alicia Keys), but a phone call with VHM’s VP of Sales, Walter Hirsekorn, revealed that people at VHM promote the entrepreneur spirit and assured us that VHM will fully support us through our development phases.

According to Funding Garage’s founder, Dominic Augusts Lin, “I believe that VHM tools will soon become a “must have” for any serious crowdfunding or crowdsourcing campaign organizer,” referring to the ability for VHM tools to be embedded in increasing number of social platforms (Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc). Funding Garage plans on integrating VHM tools into the user interface of its website, and when it officially launches later this summer (2012), organizers can seamlessly turn on an off VHM module pending on the stage of their project development and need.
