Next Meeting: The Next Evolution in Crowdfunding

April 15, 2013
Guest Speaker: Susan Perrilloux Billeaud
Crowdfunding or microfinance has been around, arguably for centuries, though the advent of social media has certainly eased the ability with which projects gain access to large amounts of capital from similarly large numbers of contributors. Further, recent changes in U.S. laws promise to take what has been largely gratuitous activity and make it a routine way for organizations to raise substantial funds for well-marketed projects. This session will walk you through the three principal ways organizations can use crowdfunding to finance their projects and how changes in U.S. laws could double the availability of equity capital in the world this year.
Time: 11:00 AM
Place: C4 Atlanta’s FUSE Arts Center, 115 Martin Luther King Jr Dr, Atlanta, GA 30303
