A Prelaunch campaign is a smart move Doing a prelaunch campaign turned out to be a really smart move. It gave us product insight about the features that are most important to customers, demographics as well as what price points to consider. Feedback from potential buyers looked genuine – some expected, some unexpected – but therefore very helpful in positioning our product for crowdfunding and eventual launch into the broader market. The Prelaunch team is experienced and gave us great support and guidance throughout the prelaunch campaign.

Prelaunch helped us get great insights… Prelaunch helped us get great insights about our product and realise the potential that it would have. This is very important when you are thinking in investing in a crowdfunding project. It could save you time and money in the long run.

Our project manager Our project manager, who did an amazing job understanding and involving with our project offering his dedication and being always available to support us, deserves special recognition. We started the validation and prelaunch process on our own, but we were not getting enough leads and people engagement. As soon as TCF took over, everything changed 360 degrees; our leads increased, our followers increased, and our subscriptions increased. They did a great job using and applying their great marketing tools. My only suggestion is that they improve the communication, especially with operation departments like on boarding and finance.

Definitely safer than crowdfunding I used to back a lot of projects on Kickstarter and Indiegogo. However, the problem is many don't live long enough to deliver their products, so they end up losing money for the people who help bring them to life. Prelaunch guarantees the product is either made successfully or backers are refunded. It's a better value proposition than using crowdfunding.

Scam defrauding clients I paid a pre-launch deposit on Fuell motorcycle. It was clearly stated that the deposit was refundable until the launch of the product, which I obviously imagined to mean the product became available for order. For pre-launch "launch" means that the motorcycle can be ordered by paying the full $10000 amount even though the production date is more than 18 months away and hasn't even been defined by the manufacturer. Both prelaunch and Fuell have refused to refund my deposit. Do not use prelaunch and definitely do not put down a deposit on a fuell motorcyle. They're just scammers.
