How Mattia Di Stasi grew his crowdfunding coaching business.

Mattia Di Stasi knows firsthand how difficult it can be to raise money on crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. When he co-founded his start-up Solenica he worked tirelessly for months to promote his Indiegogo campaign. His efforts eventually paid off and he and his team raised $675,000 in pre-sales.

After his success raising money for his own company, Mattia decided he wanted to help other entrepreneurs get their businesses funded as well. Since launching his crowdfunding coaching business he’s helped his clients raise over $1.3 million on Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

Mattia’s story

Back in 2015, Mattia was just like the clients he works with today. Together with his partners, he co-founded a robotics start-up called Solenica. They had a great idea and the know-how to make it happen. All they needed was the funding.

After receiving an initial investment from Techstars they wanted to take their business to the next level. So, they launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise additional funds. It was during this time that Mattia learned what’s involved in a successful crowdfunding campaign. It took a few months, but Solenica was eventually able to achieve and even surpass their goal.

When their crowdfunding campaign ended in 2017, Mattia left the company to pursue other interests. After working with another start-up he realized his true passion was helping other entrepreneurs get the funding they needed.

He launched a crowdfunding consulting business on Fiverr, and after helping several clients achieve impressive results the positive reviews began to roll in. Before he knew it he was receiving regular requests for his services.

Mattia’s business took another step forward when he expanded his sales channels to include a website with landing pages, powered by Leadpages. Today he’s a top seller on Fiverr, he’s completed a total of 1,500 hours of mentoring, and the programs he promotes on his site generate tens of thousands of dollars in revenue.

Challenges

In addition to his Fiverr profile, Mattia needed a website where he could attract new leads, educate clients, and promote his various programs.

His first website was built on WordPress using the Elementor plugin. While this worked well enough, the process was very time-consuming. It also meant he was constantly looking for plugins that gave his website the functionality he wanted.

“Elementor is straightforward, but it’s still WordPress. So you still need to think about the anti-virus, the backups, and all the plugins—which are very stressful.”

Mattia was spending too much time working on his website, which was preventing him from focusing on what really mattered: growing his business. He needed a solution that made building new pages easy and came pre-loaded with all the tools and features he wanted.

Finally, Mattia wanted to help his clients get their businesses online as well. Many of them weren’t experienced with coding or web design, so he was looking for a simple solution he could recommend to them.

How Leadpages helped

User-friendly website and landing page builder

Leadpages made building, managing, and editing Mattia’s website a lot easier. The drag and drop builder meant new pages could be created in less than a day, and updates and changes took just a few minutes.

All the right tools in one place

Leadpages came with everything Mattia needed to build his ideal website, including pop-ups, alert bars, CTA buttons, contact forms, and more. This saved him from having to spend countless hours looking for WordPress plugins to get the functionality he needed.
