Angels Camp Entrepreneur Leverages Kickstarter! (Update...Success!! Funding Goal Reached...Sugar Opening Soon In Angels Camp!!!)
Angels Camp, CA...Christine Abusaidi, a local entrepreneur, is taking her love of baking to the streets and to the screen. Sugar, traditional style boulangerie, will be the newest addition to the historic main street in Angels Camp and will be the first Angels Camp business in-part funded by leveraging the popular crowdsourced funding site Kickstarter...
Kickstarter, if you are not familiar with it, is an online crowd sourced funding platform that allows people to connect and support projects in a new way. It is pretty simple really, you have a project that you want to accomplish, you set the funding goal, the reward levels and then you launch a campaign. Kickstarter has helped to fund projects from independent films, music, science expeditions, radio programing and now a bakery in Angels Camp.
Christine collaborated with a local marketing and production firm, Inspired Media, to create a Kickstarter campaign that gives everyone a chance to participate in the project. This is a great example of how community can leverage technology to accomplish great things.
“I am just so thrilled to see my dream in motion and can not wait to offer a great scone and a cup of coffee” says Christine.
In addition to the Kickstarter campaign, Christine will be hosting a preview of “Sugar” at the Angels Camp Holiday Wine Stroll the Saturday of thanksgiving. Come show your support and taste some tasty bites.
We wish SUGAR the best of luck and hope that you will back them and be a part of the sugar community!
Clock is ticking! Show your support today.
