Make it ‘Raine’ Within 43 minutes, Raine Scooters hit their kickstarter target of 73k. Their secret: building a community of motor scooter heads. It does help that Michelle Mannering , one of the cofounders of Raine Scooter is a community builder. Speaking about community, I bumped into Mich at the StartupGrind APAC conference where they showcased Raine. Going to conferences is a great way to support each other. Still, there’s a common misconception that when you build, they will come. A lot of work is required beforehand to create a successful product/hardware as a business. Check our Raine - there’s less than 24 hours to buy yourself an electric scooter that super sturdy and sleek. (link to their kickstarter in the comments below) I got a little private scooter lesson from Mich towards the end. Mental note: wear a helmet when you’re out riding in the public. #stringtheory on #community #startupgrindAPAC #startupgrindAUS #SGAPAC #electriccars #kickstartercampaign #scootersharing #scooters #startupjourney #startup Chris Joannou …see more
