Roundtable: Crowdfund your business

Our Roundtable concept is about meeting up with a small group of members who are willing to share their experience and knowledge about a certain topic. We create themes around popular challenges and shared difficulties. When all participants balance giving and taking of information, we believe that a Roundtable discussion can be a very valuable experience for every participant.

In this Roundtable session, we will focus on crowdfunding. Our expert guest for this session is Mark Laagewaard, who started CrowdAboutNow in 2009. CrowdAboutNow is the crowdfunding platform for entrepreneurs who want to grow and continue independently, as it sets up crowdfunding together with the entrepreneur. You finance your plans, engage customers and fans and work directly on your brand and visibility. CrowdAboutNow guides you throughout the entire process: from preparation to a successful campaign.

During the Roundtable session, Mark will answer questions such as:
- How can you as a food entrepreneur maintain your independence with crowdfunding?
- What else can you get out of crowdfunding, in addition to financing?
- How does crowdfunding actually work?
- Plus, Mark will inspire you with some of the best examples in the food industry.

Several KR Community members have worked with CrowdAboutNow in the past. One of them is Mojo Maté. Lars van Kranenburg will join the discussion and share his experience.
