In this Customer Growth Sessions episode, Red Rooster Golf CEO Kerry Moher reveals that their $75K Kickstarter win came from preparation, not platform luck.

They hit their $25K goal in the first 24 hours, sparked major PR (Forbes, TSN), and boosted revenue with a popular add-on, the glove compartment, purchased by 45% of supporters. Expert guidance from campaign manager Vilius Stanislovaitis was key.
