George Rohac
Manager, Researcher, and Strategic Adviser
I help creative individuals and small teams with projects, business strategy, crowdfunding initiatives, and overall brand management. My goal is to provide guidance, so people are able to attain a work life balance, without feeling like they're missing opportunities or compromising their creative vision. I also talk at conferences and events about connecting with communities, crowdfunding, and working smarter not just harder.

In 2016 I was declared an official Kickstarter Expert.
In 2017 I founded Organized Havoc.

To date I have managed nearly 100 crowdfunding campaigns, including several top in category by number of backers and funding.
