Google “crowdfunding” and in 0.49 seconds you have 34,000, 000 sites to explore. If we were to Google that search word every day that number of sites returned would go up. Crowdfunding seems to be everywhere but for many it is new and confusing and the various forms of crowdfunding differ depending on the individual or organization looking for support for their product or service or mission or cause. This seminar series is an opportunity to gain a better understanding of crowdfunding and the things to consider whether you are the donor or the donee; supporting a donation or an investment. The first seminar session covers terminology, history, crowdfunding platforms, statistics, campaign considerations, the do’s and don’ts of running a successful campaign, and establishing a sound understanding of this crowdfunding phenomena. Crowdfunding can be a game changer to profit and not for profit organizations and causes. But it is not a path to free money. It is not without hard work and a commitment to the crowdfunding campaign once launched. And it is not for everyone. There must be a real compelling message and product or service and a real cause or outcome to be able to engage and get “the crowd” involved. Individually Crowdfunding 101 is a must for anyone and together with Crowdfunding 201 these two seminars will prepare the person or company seeking early stage investors to take the first step towards using the crowd to getting investors.
