In this episode of Art of the Kickstart, we spoke with Ron Hauser, Co-founder of LulleVibes and creator of the LulleVibes Travel Towel. As a first-time creator, Ron had a lot to learn about the crowdfunding industry but did his due diligence while designing the LulleVibes Travel Towel before launching on Kickstarter. Ron’s company is built on sustainability, and 246 backers helped bring his project to life. Listen to learn how Ron and his team overcame their unfamiliarity with Kickstarter and launched their campaign in Europe. Short on time? Here's what we talked about. A simple day at the beach sparked an idea that developed into LulleVibes. Ron jumped into entrepreneurship after acquiring the skills and mindset needed for it from his years of experience in accounting and consulting.  The design for the towel was inspired by plenty of research and wanting to be different from generic beach towels. The LulleVibes Travel Towel’s sustainability is rooted in how much waste Ron noticed as he traveled.  Ron emphasizes the importance of researching the industry before your campaign.
