How to Crowdfund Better!

Crowdfunding is often considered a tool for startups to get their businesses off the ground, but one of its unsung values is its ability to strengthen relationships with existing customers and to test the market for new products and services. With customer needs and desires changing rapidly during COVID-19, crowdfunding provides a way for businesses to test new ideas and get customer feedback while raising the capital they need to put those ideas into action. The non-financial assets created through crowdfunding also help businesses generate revenue long after their crowdfunding campaign closes. Join us for a presentation on the crowdfunding fundamentals, the different types of crowdfunding, and the keys to crowdfunding success.
