Originally I thought elle was being unfair till I looked at the Gofundme page and honestly Im in the same boat. A few things stick out.
1. Lack of professionalism
All I see is a lame graphic that looks like it took 4 minutes in microsoft paint with very minimal talent.
2. Lack of business plan
Nowhere do I see any type of comprehensive business plan besides ''i need equipment and dont have the money.'' There are no initiatives for funders to even get discounts on work by your company in the future. It reeks of cash grab.
3. The amount needed.
$2000 isnt a lot of money, especially when you're talking about an investment to take your business to the next level, but when you couple such a small amount needed with the lack of a business plan and very amateur production value, it just looks like a bad investment by someone who can easily take a small loan from a family member or bank but doesnt want to pay back any money.
Thats just my two cents, from a small business owner myself.
