ABOUT
I'm Miguel Aparicio.
I've spent a decade helping people raise money for things that matter to them — and I've learned that the difference between funded and forgotten is rarely luck. It's the process.

How I got here
I'm Portuguese, trilingual, and based in Colombia. My path into crowdfunding wasn't a straight line — I've been a marketer, a strategist, a writer, and a builder of things. What tied it together was a knack for one specific problem: how to get people to care, and then to act.
Over more than 1,700 client engagements, I've been part of campaigns that have raised over $9M on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, GoFundMe, and Patreon. I've seen what gives a campaign its best chance to fund and what makes it stall — usually long before launch day.
That pattern recognition became a method, and the method became CrowdStrat.
What I actually promise
I won't tell you I'll get your project funded. No honest person can promise that — and anyone who does is selling you something that isn't true.
What I promise is a process: structured, well-built, well-executed work that gives your campaign the strongest possible chance — and the truth about where you stand at every step.
Every project is different and deserves to be treated that way. Strategy, execution, and budget matter enormously. But in the end, an idea has to stand on its own and be genuinely compelling. You can spend all the money in the world — if people don't connect with your project, they won't respond to it. My job is to give a project that does resonate the best possible shot at being seen, understood, and backed.
What I do through CrowdStrat
I help founders and causes validate, build, launch, and scale crowdfunding campaigns — and I help businesses grow through social media marketing, SEO content, lead generation, and ads. Everything runs on one process, refined across hundreds of real campaigns and treated fresh for every new project.
Beyond CrowdStrat
CrowdStrat is where I make my living. But it's part of a wider body of work that says something about how I see things.
Navigating the Age of AI Casualties — a platform asking the questions no one in power is asking, about work, dignity, democracy, and what happens to ordinary people when AI rewrites rules nobody voted for.
A literary and publishing project — the books I couldn't find anywhere else, written along the way by someone trying to do good things and figure out how to live.
The animal sanctuary I founded and self-fund in Colombia — the cause much of this work quietly supports.
