BBG-U: Crowd Funding: Are you leaving money on the table?
 Brian Raines is presenting: Crowd Funding: Are you leaving money on the table?
Wednesday, November 19, 2014 *FREE* BBG-U Class At the Rod N Reel Restaurant Following our regular meeting Crowd funding is becoming a popular way for entrepreneurs, start-ups and businesses to not only raise capital, but generate online marketing programs, conduct product testing, connect with like-minded people and much more. People who don't take advantage of these opportunities could be leaving money on the table, or worse -- spending it unnecessarily. In this presentation, Brian will not only share the basics of crowd funding -- what it is and how to get involved -- but the opportunities for ancillary service providers as well as the future of equity crowd funding.

If you have any questions on what we still have on hand for your business, please call Lee, Monday-Friday 8:30am to 11:30. She is the Queen of the Welcome Bags and keeps everything neat and organized.
As always, you can call us to come by and pick up your material or drop it off at the office or at the Pack N Ship in Dunkirk.
