Part 4 in a series of videos from CleanStart’s crowdfunding workshop.

In June, Sacramento’s clean tech incubator CleanStart, held a workshop on crowdfunding, exploring both equity and rewards-based crowdfunding.

The event lineup included an overview of crowdfunding by the Chairman of CleanStart, Gary Simon, a talk on How to Raise $1,000,000 with Equity Crowdfunding by Manny Fernandez, cofounder and CEO of DreamFunded, a talk on the legal requirements of crowdfunding by Chris Russell of Stoel Rives LLP, and concluded with a talk by Michaels Zeligs where he shared everything that you need to launch and grow a rewards-based crowdfunding campaign.

Slide decks and other resources from the workshop are available on a CleanStart Crowdfunding Workshop resources page.
