RETURNING SPRING 2020

 

Crowdfunding Management Mastery 

 

Why should I take this 1-day intensive?

 

Crowdfunding has established itself as one of the quickest and most accessible ways for nonprofits and startups to raise the funding they need to reach their goals. Just last year, $34 Billion dollars was raised through crowdfunding across the globe, and that’s expected to grow to $300 Billion by 2025!  Crowdfunding has very literally changed the culture of funding for us all. Nonprofits are no longer bound by the will of a few wealthy donors. Inventors and artists can find an audience willing to pay for their creativity. And businesses can find investors from around the world in a matter of weeks, without ever having to travel. Finally, funding is democratized, and you, too, can raise the money you need for your next endeavor.
