Justin Giddings
The Kickstarter Guy

Mads Dalsgaard
CMO of Funderbeam
Justin Giddings is a Hollywood actor, director, producer and crowdfunding guru, whose journey into crowdfunding started out with a wish to finance his first film. Instead of waiting for the „go-ahead“ in a seemingly endless traditional financing cycle, Justin decided to take matters in his own hands and try out his marketing skills in the crowdfunding universe. With this step he earned his first $32 000, completed the film „This is Normal“ and went from an unknown actor to a Hollywood insider who is now trusted with 7 figure film projects. Today his brand “The Kickstarter Guy” has become one of the most valued crowdfunding concultancies in the US under which he has helped different projects raise $2 million and whose seminars are sold out to the very last seat.
