How to hit your funding goal by network mapping

In business, your network is your net worth. Raising money is first and foremost a sales process and requires a sales approach in order for you to hit your goal.  The IFW Network mapping process provides you with a realistic idea of how much money you can raise through your campaign. The process involves looking through your contacts in your various communities, platforms, and devices, and mapping out how much you expect them to give. Taking out this guesswork will allow you to be more targeted in your marketing, confident with your ask, and clear on the path to hitting your funding goal. Also, learn strategies for expanding and growing your network if your immediate list is limited.

Hacking your PR: Creating a winning press strategy

Now is the time to show up in a bigger way and give voice to your story, as you are trying to make a real impact in the world. The earlier you start to build key relationships and start pitching, the more successful your business will be. If you think you're not ready to get featured because you're "too early stage", you are preventing your business from reaching its higher potential. In this workshop led by PR Consultant, Gloria Chou, learn how to start a PR roadmap that will allow you to sharpen your narrative, build key relationships, and get featured in top publications like Forbes, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
