Crowdfunding for Your Startup with Fundopolis
2019-08-28 17:30 - 19:00 (America/Halifax) | StarterStudio Downtown, 101 South Garland Avenue Suite 108, Orlando, FL, 32801, us
Fundopolis is the place for all things funding – where anyone can connect,raise and manage money, and invest according to the values they believe in.
We are all born invested in our world. Its resources. Its communities. Its challenges and especially its people.Yet investing often means handing our money – or our business – over to institutions with little or no personal connection to the things we care about.What if investing were something everyone could take personally? What if investing were defined not just by its impact on your wallet, but also its impact on your community.At Fundopolis we’re building a whole new approach to investing; a new financial system and community that makes it simpler, more approachable and more enjoyable. Now everyone can invest in the people and ideas that matter to them. We are redefining investing.
Fundopolis is scheduled to launch a regulated securities crowd funding portal in May of 2019 and we are looking to connect small businesses with the communities that they serve. Ultimately, we believe that Regulation Crowdfunding provides small businesses with the opportunity to source needed capital from their community and customer-base. This creates a synergistic relationship between investor and company that has never existed in the US. It allows small businesses to have access to the capital they need for expansion, growth, modernization, etc. while, at the same time, planting the seeds for a viral marketing campaign, turning up to 2000 of their customers and community members into investors. These investors can also become valuable brand ambassadors who promote your business, which could increase your revenues and help serve your community.
