I have been asked this question many times in past. The answer is simple but requires work and analytic reports The answer is: "when you are ready" and crowd has giving you the signal". These are the steps . What is the signal? When you know you can receive at least 30% of the funding goal within two weeks and less after your campaign launch. How ? 1- You need to validate "your idea and concept". By ASKING the question using your CrowdFunding Landing Page ( i.e www.sharkestopper.com) or use a portal such as www.CrowdFundingSoftLaunch.com. You need to create an inbound marketing plan and get traffic to your portal. These portals have analytics, call for action and email catching databases , which you can ask your question , find the interest and answer possible questions. Analytic reports and number of email addresses you collect will be a good indicator or signal. 2- You need to validate your "crowd" , its size and see can you generate enough interest from the crowd ( i.e 100 people) and leverage on their crowd ( I.e 10,000 or more.
