Is it possible to do a dual raise through CF for non-accredited and another for accredited simultaneously

General info about crowdfunding...Thanks!

Looking for any and all ways to raise money for my start up

What is crowd funding? How does it work? Will it work for non-profit religious organizations? How much does it cost to use?

I want to learn what it’s all about. I have heard that you can raise money for your business

I'm interested in possibly using crowdfunding for creating a product

Do you have an affordable legal source for the PPM

What to know more about crowd funding. I have connected with a company called Crowd Fund Better. They connected me with another company that talked about crowdfunding connected to lending.

Interested in Crowdfunding (and investment into new business too).

Does CF require a PPM?

I’m here representing Russian River Chamber and our members

How does crowd funding compare to other funding apps?

Im here to figure out which service to use and the best way to offer a "return" to your investors in the form of discounts, etc

Hello I'm new to this idea.

Can crowdfuding be used to pivot a business due to COVID-19?

After this session, please send your feedback, positive or negative, to news@russianriver.com. Thanks

What is the raise limit on a CF?

I’ve heard GoFundMe has a “desperation” tone to it, would you agree?

Especially as it relates to raising funds for a business

If I donate $100, how much does the company get?

RAZOO?

I’ve heard there is a real strategy to doing the outreach. Any tip for that?

Is there are FEE to use Kickstarter>

How do you get showcased on the top of the page.

Saving rest of Qs for the end, continue to put them in and we'll get to them after Paul walks through the platforms

Are there any limitations once you get the money? Are you audited? Restrictive funds?

What kind of reward could you offer if you have a service only business?

Is there a time of fulfillment in the pledge of $ (dutch oven)

What if you are just starting out and you don’t have the resources to put together a video or even know how to. What are your options if you don’t have a video or something to give them?

Can crowdfunding work for a service based business?

how can we give rewards to people in a certain geographic area? Like if you donate $50+ you get a free haircut?

Could one put your offer on both Kick starter and on Indiegogo?

Would a digital magazine do well? With experience rewards for donations?

how can I bring my prototype to life

If you have to have 50% of your backing set for the first 72 hours, why put all the resources into videography, project development, etc.? Aren't you essentially doing traditional fundraising for the first 50%? Why not put the additional resources into additional traditional fundraising?

how much do you pay in taxes for your donations?

Would you recommend Crowd Funding to prove the value of the company to then raise investor $.

Hi everyone, PLEASE don't forget to send feedback from this class! Email news@russianriver.com with some comments about what you got out of class, what you liked most, what's most helpful! THANK YOU.
