Rewards strategy virtual coworking session

Crowdfunding rewards are the products and services you offer through your crowdfunding campaign, at different price points, in exchange for monetary contribution from your funders. A well planned rewards strategy can supercharge your campaign as your rewards should be a) things people actually want, and b) priced correctly.  Join us and IFundWomen Startup Coach, Alex Brockelman to learn how to strategically design rewards that will get your campaign funded.

In addition, learn to leverage the SEC's tools to help your company access capital under the federal securities laws. Join us for an introduction, and a plain English conversation!
