"Neil Young's Pono campaign is the most successful technology campaign of all time, and Alex deserves much of the credit...The Crowdsourceress will give you everything you need to make your crowdfunding campaign a success."โPhil Baker, COO of Pono "Having seen Alex Daly in action it is no surprise that she has had such success with so many crowdfunding projects."โEric Ries, author of the New York Times bestseller The Lean Startup "The success of our campaigns have been the result of three things: quality content, good storytelling, and crowdfunding management by Alex Daly. I can say with certainty that we wouldn't have surpassed our goals without her involvement, and owning her book, The Crowdsourceress, is like having her 'special sauce' right at your fingertips."โJesse Reed, Co-founder of the Standards Manual Expand reviews
