Are you ready to raise money, but don’t know where to start? Raising money for your business is never easy and not all types of fundraising are created equal.

This workshop will explore different types of funding options beyond traditional bank loans. You'll learn how to:

• Choose the right financing option for your business

• Determine the amount of funds you really need for your business or project

• Figure out how much control you really need and your bargaining position

Since crowdfunding is becoming a popular way to finance indie businesses we'll go into detail about some of the larger portals, including:

• The difference between Indie Go-Go and Kickstarter

• Creating campaigns

• Fees and costs

• Leveraging your social network

• Creating gifts for your audience

Not ready to start a crowdfunding campaign? No worries, we'll go over other options available like bootstrapping, SBA Guaranteed Loans, Private Offerings, Angel Investors, Venture Capital (VC,) and Private Equity.

Don't let your business suffer from lack of capital! Come learn about the different options available and see how you can leverage other people's money to help your business grow!
