I had high hopes...
I had high hopes when I chose to work with Jeremy at Pre-Launch Club for my crowdfunding campaign. I had spent years developing my product and invested my last savings into making it happen. From the beginning, I emphasized that this was my last shot and that I needed hands-on support, especially with managing the ads and building a community of backers. Jeremy reassured me that he could provide this level of involvement, and based on that trust, I decided to move forward. Unfortunately, the experience was far from what I expected. While Jeremy did provide some advice and built a landing page for me, the actual support I needed—active help with the ads and the campaign itself—wasn't there. I spent thousands of dollars on ads based on his guidance, but the results were disappointing. Despite Jeremy’s initial confidence in the campaign's potential, we failed to even reach $5k, whereas another consultant, whom Jeremy had warned me against, helped a competitor raise $31k for just $4k. As the campaign progressed, communication dwindled, and I was left feeling alone in the process. When I reached out for more support, Jeremy suggested ending the campaign after I had already invested significant money, but by then, I was too far into it to pull back. Ultimately, the lack of hands-on help and inconsistent guidance led to a failed campaign, leaving me not only financially drained but also deeply frustrated. I understand there are many factors in play with crowdfunding, but I was promised something different: the commitment and guidance of an expert who would work with me every step of the way. I believe that if Jeremy had been more transparent about his availability or declined the project from the start, I could have sought help elsewhere and potentially avoided this loss. In hindsight, I regret not seeking help from someone who could truly deliver the support I needed. This project meant everything to me, and I feel let down by the lack of accountability and the broken promises I received from Pre-Launch Club. I hope this feedback helps others make a more informed decision.

Jeremy is an independent partner. While I provide recommendations for other independent businesses to work with at Prelaunch Club, I am a sole proprietor. I'm sorry about your experience, and I have already spoken to Jeremy about things he could do to improve his own business services and managing client expectations on availability. Keep in mind that if your consultant recommends to stop spending money on a product design that isn't winning, "Jeremy suggested ending the campaign", then for you to continue spending money, "I was too far into it to pull back", you are operating at your own risk & discretion.
