SUMMARY:Community Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Food brings people together – so we’re bringing the Kitchen Republic Community members together on a regular basis\, by inviting a small group of the amazing food & drink entrepreneurs for lunch. Because we believe that by coming together we can build a stronger community that supports each other even better. \nThe Community Lunch has no specific goal\, but offers so many new opportunities: Our members make new connections\, learn more about each other’s businesses\, and sometimes even great new collaborations result from these informal encounters.  \nRegistration Please RSVP before June 3. There are limited spots available\, we will contact you the week before with more details.

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Crowdfund your business
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIn 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. \nSeveral 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. \nAgenda17.30-18.15 – Walk-in & easy dinner 18.15-20.00 – Roundtable Discussion20.00-21.00 – Drinks & networking  \nRegistration for this event ends on June 16. You can submit your questions/topics of interest upfront when signing up. We’re looking forward to an interesting discussion!
