103 - Crowdfunding Best Practices
So you are thinking about Crowdfunding as a way of raising capital but want to know more about it? In this two-hour seminar, we will review the different types of crowdfunding and discuss the key factors. They are: platform fees, choice of platform, rewards, dollar goal, fulfillment, project duration, promotion and videos. Crowdfunding is rapidly gaining popularity as a strategy for entrepreneurs to get capital to further their business ideas. The recent regulations about equity crowdfunding that took effect May 16 have changed the way start-ups can raise capital. This has accelerated the growth of crowdfunding platforms that can raise larger units of capital in return for an equity investment.
