Entrepreneurs of the World, Unite - the Greater Los Angeles Area Is Going Global on November 16, 2012! Our Forum offers an unprecedented opportunity to connect, share visions and build synergies with innovative champions and doers from all over the world, experienced investors and those in the community who are searching for ground-breaking ventures to invest in and exploit the CrowdFunding platform. The ultimate goal of the Forum is to give ongoing access to entrepreneurs with strong and innovative ideas towards a rich set of alternative financing paths while strengthening the investment landscape through educating communities and helping them capitalize on the CrowdFunding model in a most secure and socially responsible way. Our Forum discussions will revolve around the following key points: • What is the current fundraising landscape for start-ups and growing companies in the U.S. and globally? • What are VCs and angel-investors looking for in a transforming market place? • How to reach investors, incubators and accelerators in the U.S. and overseas. • Why are entrepreneurs around the world turning to CrowdFunding as an alternative to traditional fundraising? • What are the best practices to exploit the existing CrowdFunding platform and what lessons can be learned? • How to locate legitimate CrowdFunding sources and evaluate them in the context of other existing funding opportunities • How to invest like a VC and spot sizable pre-IPO opportunities in an overcrowded world. • What are the risks for those running a crowdfunding initiative, and those participating in one and how they can be minimized? • How to enhance social entrepreneurship through private equity-based investing.
