Crowdfunding: A New Way of Fueling Businesses
Finding seed-stage funding for your business can be challenging. Congress recently passed legislation which will remove some of the biggest barriers to raising capital.
We will start with an overview of the broader crowdfunding landscape as it exists today, and then look in detail at the options that will be available when this new legislation goes into effect in 2013 and how the market is likely to develop.
With the basics in-hand, we will take a look at what it takes to run a successful crowdfunding campaign. What are the pros and cons of raising money from the crowd? How much time, money, and effort does it really take, and for what types and stages of company is crowdfunding a good option?
This webinar is intended to help you learn what you need to know about crowdfunding, so please bring your questions and we'll do our best to have you leave with answers.

How It Works
Single Connection: $245.00
Additional Connection at the same Organization: $150.00
A site connection allows a single connection to the web conference. That connection is open to any number of users in a collaborative setting. Because there are no travel expenses and only a single registration fee is required, each additional participant lowers the cost per participant significantly.
By purchasing a site connection, you can invite as many people as you would like to view and participate in the session from a single location. Set up the session in a conference room and project the presentation and chat on a large screen. You also have rights to distribute copies of the presentation materials to everyone involved. Please note that audio is received via the phone line and must be broadcast to your group.
If for any reason a relevant stakeholder cannot co-locate for the session, we encourage you to include that person by purchasing an additional connection at the reduced fee of $150 per session. This will ensure that every member of a team receives the same relevant, timely information in the most efficient way. If you have any technical or purchasing questions, please contact us at (818) 888-4444.
CANCELLATION, REFUNDS & CREDITS
Should you be unable to attend, a refund, less a $50 administrative charge, will be made for cancellations received via letter or fax at least 3 working days before the event. We regret cancellations will not be accepted after that date. However, we will be pleased to transfer your registration to another member of your company or credit the registration fee to another Infocast conference if you register within 6 months from the date of this conference. In the event the conference is canceled, Infocast’s liability is limited to the refund of the conference registration fee only.
