Have you been thinking about crowdfunding to raise capital? Either equity or rewards-based? There’s a seminar next Tuesday on June 20 that I HIGHLY recommend you attend. The quality of the presenters is excellent! If you’re looking to run a Kickstarter-type campaign, presenter Michael Zeligs will coach you on the finer points of pre-launch essentials, including making an engaging video. If you’re curious about equity crowdfunding, Dreamfunded CEO and cofounder Manny Fernandez will help you understand everything there is to know about this new funding tool. There are a limited number of early bird tickets for $55 and if you use code “digest” you’ll save another $10. More info here.
