Emerging Opportunities Forum: Crowdfunding Strategies
& Opportunities
Crowdfunding is a potentially valuable and multi-faceted tool for many startups. This panel session will look beyond the hype to hear from leading researchers, attorneys and entrepreneurs discussing opportunities available for entrepreneurs to test market acceptance, create awareness, fund initial production runs or potentially to raise equity/debt capital.
Panelists:
Zach Robins is an experienced startup attorney who cofounded MNVest.org and was instrumental in leading legislative lobbying efforts that legalized equity crowdfunding in Minnesota.
Chris Svensrud & Jason Drew are cofounders of Mogotani Fast, which works with a broad range of leading companies to design and develop products for the outdoors. Their 2018 Indiegogo campaign for the world's most compact foldable hammock raised $520,000 to fund initial production.
Jennifer Amys is a principal with Funds411, a funding platform where anyone can raise equity or debt capital.
Join us to learn from our panel about how to navigate this challenging topic.
