Crowd Funding Campaign
Hi,
I am 16 years old and I live in Long Island. My two passions are business and technology. Some more background about me is that I've been creating businesses since I was 12. When I was in 8th grade I was doing trade shows with some of the top guys in the industry. For my 14th birthday I ask for Quickbooks( an accounting program) and to be incorporated as a corporation so I could practice business legally, and here I am. I've imported goods from overseas, and exported just as many as I imported. I have a wholesale account with the biggest fishing tackle company in the US, and the biggest trading card distributor in the US. I've done over $35,000 in sales out of my room over the past 2 years. I love Apple, I'm on my 4th different model of iPhone, I get the new one every time it comes out. I had an app in the app store previously that got 15,000 downloads, but I sold the rights to it.
I came up with a concept for a new iOS app, I didn't have enough money to fund it and get it going so I spent the $500 I had to create a logo and a professional video for Kickstarter, a popular crowd funding website. To my suprise Kickstarter rejected my project, I appealed and again they rejected it, I guess they don't like young minds spending every dime they have to make the world a better place. Anyway I went ahead and posted it on IndieGoGo, I really need this campaign to get fully funded. Thanks for your support
