Did you know crowdfunding is a great way to fund growth for food and beverage businesses? You need three key ingredients: a crowd, a clear plan for what you’d like to use your funds for, and the ability to communicate consistently with your crowd about the campaign.
Meet PledgeMe co-founder Anna Guenther and her team (including several from Nelson/Tasman) will be in the Mahitahi Collab Boardroom on Friday afternoon, 10 October from 2-3:30pm.
Hear from Matt Stevens from Parrotdog about their equity crowdfunding journey, where they raised $2mil in 2 days in their first round to move into a larger brewery to meet production demand. He's now supporting other founders through his work with PledgeMe.
Listen to a local equity crowdfunding campaigner, Simone Woodland from Circle Living in Golden Bay, who will share her current experience raising funds for her co-housing development company.
Come along, learn more and talk to the team about whether you have the ingredients to cook up a successful crowdfunding campaign.
