Crowdfunding Now!

We are launching this campaign to buy a stake in the LA Clippers.  According to news reports, the current owner has some issues with Black people. (Why he owns a sports franchise that is 75% Black is beyond me, but that doesn't matter.) We want to help him out...out of some of his ownership stake, at least, since he does not appear to deserve it.  This effort is important because of the message it sends. You cannot treat Black people, women and other minorities with contempt while making huge amounts of money off them.  Imagine the magnitude of what contributors will achieve if we are successful: we will show that Black people, women and other minorities will no longer be disrespected.  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/crowdfunding-the-clippers/x/1013002#home

"three basic issues that should be addressed before launching a (product-based crowdfunding) campaign: Cost.  Before anything else, you need to determine what the true costs of the product are in terms of materials, labor, and ancillary production expenses? 'You can’t begin to set realistic margins until you have that completely nailed down,' he says. Quality.  In this case, 'quality' doesn’t necessarily mean reaching for the highest possible standard, with all other considerations secondary; that’s the path to bankruptcy, notes Miller. 'You have to match customer expectations and product costs to your quality benchmark,' he says. 'You need the right balance. If the quality is too low relative to your price point, you’ll either never get off the ground or your customers will ebb away. If the quality is too high per the price, you can lose so much money you go out of business.' Scheduling.  You have to deliver products when they’re expected. &#
