Survive the Future – money & insurance
Bitcoin goes to the moon! -now what? You need insurance, because once you’ve made it, you need to protect it. Protect your private keys. Protect your people.
We talk about risk in crypto all the time and there are many. But there’s one risk many of us ignore: what happens to your stack if something happens to you?
Tonight we talk about insurance. An off-chain hedge for your on-chain wealth because some risks do not happen on the blockchain. Life is unpredictable, financial peace of mind is important.
Rebecca Abela has a background in marketing and works with [LifeStar](https://www.lifestarinsurance.com/about) as Tied Insurance Intermediary. For over 60 years LifeStar protected generations of wealth builders.
Also presenting, Cameron Innes is heading [vc.fun ](http://www.vc.fun/)for internet capital markets for the next generation of startups.
Stay safe – not only on-chain but also in real-life.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern
Central Ohio Chapter Meeting
IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS
How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals
If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal.
And right now, funding is where more investors are getting stuck.
Private lenders are more cautious.
Partners are asking better questions.
And deals that look good on paper still fall apart when the money doesn’t show up.
That’s why we’re bringing in a panel of investors who are actually getting their deals funded right now.
You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
* Where they’re finding private lenders today
* How they start conversations that lead to funding
* What makes lenders and partners say YES
* How they structure deals to be fundable
* The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money
* How to build repeat funding relationships
**Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):**
**Having Trouble Finding Tenants? How Community Shelter Board Can Help**
Nicholas Brenner will walk you through programs designed to help rapidly rehouse tenants, including financial support that can stabilize your rentals.
**The Deal Room (7:00–7:30 PM Eastern)**
Bring deals, funding needs, buyers, and problems.
This is where connections turn into action.
This meeting is for serious real estate investors nationwide, and we’re known for our high-content, real-life education and our nationwide community of dealmakers.
