EP #530 How This Creator Raised $267K With an AI-Powered Golf Caddie | CaddieVision

Tags: facebook tech
DATE POSTED:July 17, 2025

Don’t believe any creator can use crowdfunding to launch a product? 

Then, you’re gonna wanna listen to today’s podcast episode. 

If you’ve ever had a “career day” on the golf course — the kind where every shot feels perfect — you know the magic that keeps golfers coming back. 

But what if you could bottle that experience, analyze it, and replicate it?

That’s exactly what Jason Schneider set out to do with Caddie Vision, an AI-powered, augmented reality smart glass that acts as your personal golf caddie. His Indiegogo campaign raised over $267,000 from 400+ backers… and he did it without traditional VC funding.

In this episode of the Crowdfunding Demystified podcast, you’ll hear:

  • How Jason transformed a single eagle shot into a full-blown product idea
  • Why he used a specific strategy to validate demand before launch
  • The exact pre-launch math he used to calculate marketing spend
  • How he leveraged Facebook groups to build community and trust
  • The mindset shift that made his campaign go viral — and how you can replicate it

Whether you’re building a tech product, exploring equity crowdfunding, or just love golf, this is a masterclass in execution, transparency, and authentic founder storytelling.
