13 campaigns. $3M+ raised. Zero failed deliveries.
I help physical product creators prepare, launch, and scale Kickstarter campaigns, using the system I built running 13 of my own with my own money.
13 campaigns with my own money on the line.
I'm Jorge Barros, founder of Graphene-X, an advanced materials apparel company built on Kickstarter with no outside funding.
13 campaigns, over $3M raised, 30,000+ backers delivered across 100+ countries, zero failed deliveries. No agency, no VC, a core team of three.
Most crowdfunding advice comes from agencies that have never put their own money on the line. I've run every campaign myself, from the first pre-launch email to the final backer update, 13 times in a row. I know what each stage demands because I've repeated the full cycle more times than most creators ever will.
I work best with physical product creators.
Built for physical products.
Physical product creators.
- Creators preparing a first or next Kickstarter campaign
- Inventors with working prototypes
- Bootstrapped founders without an agency budget
- Brands planning Kickstarter, Shopify, or both
- Founders who want specific direction from someone who has done it repeatedly with his own money
Not a fit.
- Idea-stage projects with no prototype
- Digital products, apps, or services
- Dropshipping or resale brands
- Anyone looking for an agency to run the campaign for them
- Anyone expecting guaranteed results
Work with me on your launch.
Book the intro session for general guidelines on your campaign direction and to see if we are a good fit for a program. Book a program to prepare, launch, and scale your campaign with a system built from real execution. Together, we can:
An AI system loaded with the operating knowledge from 13 Graphene-X campaigns. Your intake form feeds it. It produces your pre-launch plan, campaign timeline, list-size targets, and budget framework. I review and correct the output with you on the calls.

Questions, answered straight.
What is my area of expertise?
Crowdfunding for physical products. I advise creators on the full Kickstarter arc: pre-launch audience building, campaign page and reward structure, launch-day execution, live campaign management, and post-campaign strategy.
What makes me qualified to give advice on this topic?
I built Graphene-X, a bootstrapped advanced materials apparel company, almost entirely through Kickstarter. 13 campaigns launched, more than $3M raised, 30,000+ backers delivered across 100+ countries, zero failed deliveries. I have run every part of the process myself: positioning, page, video, pre-launch list, launch day, manufacturing, logistics, and backer communication. No agency, no VC.
Who is my ideal client?
Physical product creators preparing a first or next Kickstarter campaign. Especially bootstrapped founders who don't have an agency budget and need honest, specific direction from someone who has done it repeatedly with his own money.
What can someone expect from a session with me?
Straight answers on their specific project. Before the call I review whatever you send to me: draft page, funding goal, list size, budget. On the call we work through your biggest gaps: readiness, pre-launch math, reward pricing, page structure, launch sequencing, mid-campaign momentum, or post-campaign strategy. You leave with a clear list of what to fix and in what order.
What is not included?
This is advisory, not an agency service. I do not build your page, run your ads, or manage the campaign for you. You execute. I bring the system, the reviews, and the judgment from 13 campaigns.
On results: nobody can guarantee a funded campaign, and I will not pretend otherwise. The system improves your odds. The product and the execution decide the outcome.
On logistics: I am based in Hong Kong and schedule calls across US, European, and Asian timezones. Intro call bookings and refunds follow Intro's policies. Programs are confirmed directly with me before any payment.
