Yesterday marked the first anniversary of our very first modue video going online. Over the past year, the modue team has learned a lot about building a brand, fostering a community, and organically attracting potential customers and supporters who enable us to keep pursuing our project. In this year, organically: • modue videos have been viewed over 30 million times. • Our website has had over 300,000 unique visitors from around the world. • Over 40,000 people have joined our waitlist. • We’ve gained over 114,000 followers on Instagram. • We’ve gathered nearly 50,000 followers on TikTok. • We executed the largest tech crowdfunding campaign from Poland on Kickstarter, raising over €350,000, and combined with Indiegogo, nearly €400,000. I am incredibly proud of these achievements, which confirm that our product concept and strategy have strong potential in the market. Here’s to an even better second year! 🌟 #modue #startup #hardware #crowdfunding #growth

I’m excited to announce… Our good friends @Simon & @Charlene at @Sooper Books, backed by all five tycoons on this season’s Dragons’ Den, have just announced their debut crowdfunding campaign. If you haven’t heard about Sooper Books yet, their rise has been explosive to say the least. Their free children’s story website started as a hobby when they were expecting their daughter, Goldie. But when Lockdown hit, it quickly gained traction. Within weeks it had become a recommended reading resource for hundreds of schools and shot to the top of Google. This early traction enabled them to gain funding from some of the UK’s top VCs and angels and grow a phenomenal team. Then a few months ago, they appeared on Dragons’ Den. In fact, they didn’t just appear. They made history on the show and walked out with the backing of all five dragons (giving away just 1% to each of them). This drove massive visibility in the media. Sooper Books appeared on the front of The Sun, The Daily Mail, BBC.co.uk websites and in a host of other press articles. Now, for the first time ever, the public can invest. The opportunity ahead of Sooper Books is extremely exciting indeed. With a large and growing audience, they are in a unique position. They’ll continue to create world-class characters with their Emmy-winning storytellers and use the data to determine the most popular ones. These top characters will then be turned into feature length stories and pushed out into different verticals for licensing (books, toys, clothing, TV, Film etc). Ultimately, their goal is to create a suite of characters that can define the next generation of children’s entertainment. And when you consider Winnie-the-Pooh alone has grossed an eye-watering $48.4bn, it gives you an idea of the commercial opportunity ahead. If you’re interested in investing, I’d suggest joining the priority access list to beat the rush: https://lnkd.in/enjH8RWe P.s. Joining the list is not a commitment to invest. You’ll have time to review all the necessary details. They’ll be accepting anything from £10 to £500,000, so it really is for everyone! #crowdfunding #angelinvestors #startups

E184 That Great Business Show with Conall Ó Móráin Creganna Medical is an incredible Irish success story that not too many have heard of. Founded in 1980 by the late Ian Quinn, he started by making metal boxes to house early desktop computers. Following a couple of 'necessary pivots' along with way, Ian created what was one of the world’s largest makers of heart stents that was eventually sold in 2016 for €820 million. Creganna's success was the seed that set Galway as Ireland's #medtech capital. Pumpinheart is the latest heart related medtech company, about to fund so it can go for growth in Galway. This 2 year old company has world domination in mind for its tiny pump that fits in the human heart. But to get there they need funds and unusually they're starting to raise cash via the crowdfunding platform Spark Crowdfunding. Donald Hickey is one of PumpInHeart's founders and he joins That Great Business Show to explain how this now tiny company is raising €3million, hoping to be bought out at €400m...Of course it won't be easy. Like life, there are no guarantees, but for a minimum investment of €100, it could be fun. DO TAKE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. Donald's 'hire in a heartbeat' is Galway girl Ellen Roche, a world heart pump expert (there's always one!), now based at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Donald wants to bring Ellen home! On That Great Business Show we know listener like ‘soft skills’ items like when we interviewed Brian Pennie, PhD about why just moving can change your mood. Brian McGeough took the bull out of team building for us while Dermot Whelan literally stopped us breathing to calm us down. And then the fabulous Dr Jolanta Burke, CPsychol from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), had so simple advice (all scientifically verified) about putting a photo of loved ones on your desk to bring you blood pressure down. On this episode Shane Cradock, one-time Bio-Chemical Engineer who worked with Bord na Móna and PepsiCo says his subtractive methodology as opposed to the widely advocated ‘additive’ approach can help you take back control, boost your mood and confidence, and ultimately help achieve your full potential. Give him 20 minutes of your time. It could change your life. His 'hire in a heartbeat'? Paul Cadden, of Saba restaurants With thanks to MentorsWork REPOST this to someone you think may be looking for either an investment opportunity, or some peace in their life. Warning; the two may be mutually exclusive.

He led the 90s tech wave in South Korea—and went on to receive the Presidential Award for his contributions to entrepreneurship. While studying for his doctorate in 1994, Kim Jung-ju (also known as Jay Kim) founded video game publisher Nexon. Under his leadership, Nexon launched the world’s first graphic online multiplayer role-playing game, The Kingdom of the Wind. By the time Nexon had become South Korea’s biggest video game company, it had produced multiple award-winning hits, including Mabinogi, KartRider and MapleStory. In 2014, Kim joined Collaborative Fund as a bootstrap business expert. The US venture capital firm brought him on board to dispense the same wisdom that had seen him build Nexon into a multi-billion–dollar business—and all without having taken a dollar of venture capital investment. Kim never stopped striving to give back to his community: 👉🏼 He was dedicated to building up the next generation of South Korea’s greatest minds, especially in health, education and technology 👉🏼 He pledged $93m to startups and children’s hospitals 👉🏼 He founded the Nexus Foundation, which runs the annual Nexon Youth Programming Challenge, the Nexon Small Library project for children in underserved communities, and SOHO Impact, a US-based nonprofit promoting creativity in children through play programmes As if his philanthropy weren’t enough, in 2013 Kim established Nexon Computer Museum, showcasing rare computer and gaming artefacts in the first museum of its kind in all of Asia. Perhaps most intriguing of all, Kim decided that his children would build up their own lives without basking in their father’s wealth. In his will he declared they would not inherit his stake in Nexon. Kim died suddenly in 2022 aged just 54, but his legacy lives on. This philanthropic billionaire worked tirelessly to change the lives of countless children and young people, not only in South Korea but across the globe, too. Enjoyed this post?
