Considering crowdfunding? Don't miss this Livestream keynote presentation and panel discussion with successful crowdfunding entrepreneurs to learn best practices for ensuring successful product delivery and avoiding common pitfalls. Ask your questions via YouTube chat! This is an official event for Global Entrepreneurship Week, and entrepreneurs from around the world will be joining us! Why is this relevant? Global crowdfunding campaigns totaled 6,455,080 last year, with $17.2 billion generated in North America alone--up 33.7% over last year. It's a funding opportunity that cuts across all demographics. While best practices for attaining crowdfunding revenue goals are well established, less clear is how to ensure product delivery as promised to backers. Crowdfunded gadgets are often delayed for months or years, and in some cases, they never ship at all. For instance, nearly 1 in 10 Kickstarter projects entirely fail to deliver promised rewards to their backers. Don't let this happen to you!
