Crowdfunding doesn’t have to be scary. Join us to learn how to make it work for your startup.
Thursday, October 30 | 12 pm – 2 pm MDT
at the Life Sciences Innovation Hub
This Halloween season, we’re taking fear out of fundraising. Join us for a Founders Lunch discussion on how startups can use crowdfunding to raise capital, validate demand, and build loyal communities. Whether you’re an early-stage founder exploring funding options or a growth-stage company looking to engage your audience and attract investors, this session is for you.
We’ll explore where crowdfunding fits in your fundraising journey, how to craft a story that connects with backers, and why community trust is the foundation of every successful campaign.
You’ll also hear insights from legal and regulatory experts on intellectual property considerations, securities compliance, and investor protection, as well as firsthand experiences from founders who have successfully raised through crowdfunding.
Panelists:
– Victoria Bennett, Founder, The Crowdfunding Hub
– Tonya Fleming, Manager, Private Markets & Innovation, Alberta Securities Commission
– Justin Lentz, Associate, Bishop & McKenzie LLP
– Stephan Becker, CPO, Arolytics
