  • What’s next in rewards-based crowdfunding?
  • What happens after a successful crowdfunding round? How can individuals /startups keep up the momentum?
  • With all the crowdfunding projects right now, how can you find funders and how can funders find you?
  • Will we see a fatigue or decline in interest and investments as the crowdfunding space gets more and more crowded?

So tune in to chat with Rick about all things crowdfunding!
