Campaign Process Overview
Once you submit your campaign idea, it will be reviewed by a team of Advisors at TLC Monadnock. If it is approved, you will receive access to an account on our online platform to begin building your project’s campaign. TLC Monadnock Advisors will guide you through the process to create, launch and manage a campaign.
This process typically takes two months from start to launch of the campaign on the platform (see timeline below). It is strongly suggested that you have a team of between three and five people to work on and provide marketing for your project.
Our proposal acceptance period is currently CLOSED.
