Julio Terra is a creator-focused product and community builder with 15 years of experience helping independent makers launch physical products successfully. As Co-Founder of Launch Studio and Creator Education Lead at BackerKit, he designs and runs the Crowdfunding Masterclass that turns product-focused founders into savvy crowdfunders on Kickstarter. His decade-plus tenure at Kickstarter — from community manager to head of technology and design community — gave him deep hands-on experience matching innovative teams with funding strategies that scale from thousands to millions. Julio combines product design instincts with community-driven go-to-market playbooks, mentoring startups and design studios to convert prototypes into funded products. Based in New York, he’s backed thousands of projects himself and brings that practitioner perspective to classroom and consulting work. Outside the obvious, he leverages his background in interaction design and arts mentorship to help creators tell more compelling product stories.
