An Introduction to Crowdfunding--Accessible Money or Another Dead-end?
Crowdfunding is increasingly being explored as an alternative to more traditional methods of raising capital for business. Since its inception, the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter has garnered over $1 billion of pledges for its projects. However, the fact is that the majority of crowdfunding projects do NOT reach their funding goals. What separates the winners from the losers?
This highly interactive, 3 hour workshop is designed to provide entrepreneurs and business owners with an introduction to crowdfunding. Instructor Gregory Paley is a Collaborative Advisor with more than 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur, business lawyer, and author who has enjoyed providing advice to hundreds of entrepreneurs in start-up and early stage companies.
By attending, you will learn information about how to use crowdfunding, tips and traps and, most importantly, if it is right for you. Upon completion of this workshop, eligible participants can schedule no cost, confidential, one-on-one advising with the local SBDC advisors.
