What crowdfunding platforms are recommended for drinks businesses, and what should founders know before using them?

Members have direct experience with crowdfunding platforms for drinks businesses. **CrowdCube** was used by one member but they felt the platform did not add significant value to the campaign and would not recommend it for future rounds. The member noted they "brought more to the party than they did," suggesting the onus fell heavily on the founder to drive the campaign rather than receiving substantial platform support.

Members recommend discussing crowdfunding strategy directly with founders who have completed campaigns, as their insights on platform selection and execution are valuable.
