EP 23: Raising Capital for Ecommerce: Angels, VCs, Kickstarter - Marvin Weinberger, Innovation Factory
On today’s episode we talk MONEY….MONEY….MONEY.
By that I mean raising CAPITAL for ECOMMERCE.
I am going to be speaking about the current options available beyond Family and Friends:
RAISING SEED CAPITAL FROM ANGEL INVESTORS and CROWDFUNDING from a VETERAN ENTREPRENEUR: Marvin Weinberger, who has just surpassed his KICKSTARTER GOAL BY ALMOST 500%.
Marvin is a serial entrepreneur, an inventor and expert in raising funds with Angel Investors, VCs and more recently on Kickstarter.
He is the founder of a Philadelphia based product development company called: Innovation Factory (http://innovationfactory.com/) and an eCommerce start up: American Certified (http://americanCertified.com) - which claims to offer the largest selection of American-made goods.
Marvin recently closed in on a Kickstarter Campaign for his latest Made In USA invention: The Lil Trucker™ surpassing its $25,000 goal by almost 500% - it raised $123,310.
Here's the campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1866162613/the-lil-truckertm
