Workshop Crowdfunding

Have an idea? Want to start a business? Build a prototype? But is money (or lack thereof) standing in your way? Welcome to the new era of fundraising. Crowdfunding not only expedites funding to get your idea off the ground, but it also jumpstarts your marketing, validates your market, increases customer engagement and "curries serendipity" with new opportunities you could've never predicted. Crowdfunding mobilizes fans into funders and funders into marketers seamlessly. This Do-It-With-Others approach to fundraising is emerging as an important complementary piece of the funding pie for start-ups and creative ventures. IndieGoGo (www.indiegogo.com) is a leading international crowdfunding site with 17,000 campaigns in over 150 countries. The company's mission is to help more people raise more money, faster than otherwise possible. The technology platform allows anyone with an idea - creative, cause or entrepreneurial - to create a campaign, offer perks and raise money from friends, fans, followers and future customers. From technologists, to musicians to activists, people across the world are raising money and keeping 100% ownership. There are "must-dos" and "must-don'ts" in raising money from your followers and future customers. So come and learn how to make your crowdfunding effort a success.
