Agenda
2:00 – 3:00 PM (CST) – EquityVest: With You Every Step of the Way
w/ Jerry Fultz & Tom Bassford of EquityVest
Regulation Crowdfunding may be one of the best solutions to come along in a long time but it’s not necessarily a simple solution. In fact, there are a lot of rules and regulations around what you can and cannot say and a boat load of disclosures, financials, organizing documents, corporate structure, etc. that need to be filed in the process.
Many portals have automated their process and if you’re an entrepreneur with a question, you won’t find a number to call or a person to talk to but a drop down of FAQs. That’s not us. With EquityVest, you’ll have our number and we’ll be on a first name basis. We’ll help you or point you to folks who can every step of the way. We will walk you through our process in this workshop.
3:00 – 4:00 PM (CST) – Cracking the Crowdfunding Code: Unlocking Success with Savvy Marketing in Reg CF Campaigns
w/Summer Crenshaw of Crenshaw Consulting
Get ready to unravel the secrets to a successful Reg CF campaign. We’ll explore why your biggest fans could be your crowdfunding superheroes, and how you can turn campaign funds into marketing magic through clever use of rolling closes. Plus, we’ll navigate through the do’s and don’ts from the SEC to ensure your message hits the right note. Whether you’re a filmmaker dreaming of your next big project, an entrepreneur working to disrupt the world or just curious about the crowdfunding world, this session promises to be both engaging and insightful.
