From tech startups to lifestyle brands, if your business has a strong product and a commitment to growth, we’re ready to help you succeed.
How do you ensure the success of a crowdfunding campaign?
Our approach starts with LaunchBoom’s Predictive Testing. Before launching your campaign, we test your product with real audiences, using data to optimize messaging, pricing, and positioning. We also build a pre-launch community to ensure you have a committed audience when your campaign goes live. With this strategy, many of our partners meet or exceed their crowdfunding goals within 24 hours. After the campaign launch, we continue to scale success with targeted ads across platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

Once your campaign is complete, House of Bricks steps in to help you scale your business beyond the initial crowdfunding success. We provide personalized business advisory services using our S.I.M.P.L.E.™ Operating System, which focuses on long-term strategy, innovation, mindset, and execution.
