Got Crickets? Alex Drysdale is the founder of Crik Nutrition, a company that sells protein powder made with crickets (yes, the insect!). When Drysdale launched his company in 2014, he planned to get a loan to fund startup costs. However, since he had a unique product, he opted for crowdfunding instead.
Drysdale launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.com and ended up raising $16,428 from 191 backers in 22 countries.
