I founded Crowd Flint during a 12-week social impact fellowship focused on creating solutions for urban communities worldwide. The initiative aimed to generate nontraditional revenue streams for individuals making a positive impact in the City of Flint. As a crowdfunding consultant, I worked with early-stage groups that were not yet eligible for traditional funding. Through concept development, iterative prototyping, and lean startup methods, I was able to move from idea to testing and prove that there was a receptive market opportunity.
