Muhammad Asad I.

Startup Funding Expert | Kickstarter, Crowdfunding & Grant Writing

🚀 I help startups pursue funding through two core paths: Kickstarter/crowdfunding launches and non-dilutive business grants. My work covers market validation, product positioning, Kickstarter strategy, crowdfunding campaign development, grant research, grant writing, grant applications, and funding-readiness planning. 👑 Top Rated Plus on Upwork 🏆 Upwork Top Performer ⌛ 4,000+ Quality Work Hours Delivered ✅ $100K+ in Upwork Earnings Recent Kickstarter Result “Asad was amazing to work with, kind, responsive, and clear in communication. His detailed crowdfunding strategy, campaign audit, and actionable recommendations helped us improve our Kickstarter launch and hit our $250,000 goal in just 10 hours.” I’m Muhammad Asad, CEO and Co-Founder of Majnate LLP. I work with founders, startups, product teams, and growing businesses that are preparing to fund the next stage of their development. Depending on your business, that may mean validating and launching a product through Kickstarter or Indiegogo, identifying suitable grant opportunities, preparing a competitive business grant application, or developing the strategy and materials required before pursuing funding. 1️⃣ Kickstarter & Crowdfunding Strategy ✅ Kickstarter product idea testing and market validation ✅ Audience and competitor research ✅ Product positioning and campaign angle development ✅ Kickstarter launch-readiness audits ✅ Pre-launch strategy and campaign roadmaps ✅ Reward structure, pricing and target-backer analysis ✅ Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaign strategy ✅ Campaign page copywriting and storytelling ✅ Campaign graphics and video direction ✅ Crowdfunding marketing and campaign optimization ✅ Pre-launch lead generation and campaign planning Whether you are still validating the idea or preparing for launch, I can help identify the gaps between your current product position and a campaign that potential backers can understand and support. 2️⃣ Startup & Business Grant Support ✅ Business grant research and funding opportunity identification ✅ Startup grant research ✅ Grant eligibility and opportunity assessment ✅ Grant proposal writing ✅ Grant application development and support ✅ SBIR and other suitable business funding proposal support ✅ Grant documentation and compliance planning ✅ Funding calendars and application tracking ✅ Post-award reporting and grant management support where required The objective is not simply to find a long list of grants. I focus on identifying opportunities that fit the business, understanding the eligibility and evaluation criteria, and developing an application around the funder's requirements. 3️⃣ Startup Funding Readiness Some businesses are not yet ready to launch a crowdfunding campaign or submit a competitive grant application. In those cases, I can help evaluate: ✅ Product-market fit and market validation ✅ Target customer and audience definition ✅ Competitive positioning ✅ Business and funding narrative ✅ Offer clarity and value proposition ✅ Launch or application readiness ✅ Funding strategy and next-step priorities This gives founders a clearer answer to an important question: What needs to be strengthened before we pursue funding? 4️⃣ Campaign Optimization & Ongoing Support For active crowdfunding engagements, support can include: ✅ Campaign performance analysis ✅ Backer engagement and conversion monitoring ✅ Traffic-source analysis ✅ Campaign communication and updates ✅ Marketing roadmap development ✅ Meta advertising strategy ✅ Pre-launch and post-launch optimization Every engagement is scoped around the current stage of the business. Before starting, we define the deliverables, responsibilities, timelines, and expected outcomes clearly. Who I Work Best With My strongest fit is with: • Early-stage startups seeking non-dilutive funding • Founders preparing a Kickstarter or Indiegogo launch • Product businesses validating market demand before launch • Startups researching and applying for business grants • Businesses preparing grant proposals and funding applications • Founders who need a clear funding-readiness or crowdfunding strategy If you are preparing to fund the next stage of your business, share your product or company, current stage, funding objective, target timeline, and the route you are considering. I can help determine the most practical next steps.
