President Obama’s Global Entrepreneur Summit 2016

It all starts on Wednesday!

GES2016 aims to provide a platform for some of the world’s top up and coming talent to be fast-tracked and connected with a global network of like-minded entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts. Empowering youth and women entrepreneurs brings new ideas to life, while also investing in our collective future. Young people around the world cite expanding entrepreneurship opportunities as their number one priority.

 

Women entrepreneurship and economic participation speeds up development, helps overcome poverty, reduces inequalities and improves children’s nutrition, health, and school attendance. And successful women entrepreneurs are more likely to invest their earnings back into their families and their communities. The connections and insight gained through GES2016 will assist this next cadre of emerging youth and women entrepreneurs in reaching their full potential to scale and catalyze change.

 

I’ll be attending all three days and getting interviews, pics and information to bring back to you. Information you can use to grow your business.

Meet the women who are #crowd-funding their way to riches

By Alley Pascoe, Sunday Style

Thanks to sites like ArtistShare, Pozible, Indiegogo and Kickstarter, crowd-funding has been the go-to investment platform for start-ups, and the pool of those requesting our spare cash is growing.

It’s estimated that crowd-funding raised more than $47 billion globally last year. If the trend continues, this year it will overtake venture capital as the largest source of start-up funding.

Scott Pape, the Barefoot Investor, has seen first-hand how “crooked” banks can be and believes “having new sources of funding is a good thing”.

So, why has the web become an alternative to getting a loan or hitting up your parents? “Because people are unable to get finance elsewhere,” says Mr Pape.

It’s also much easier to put out a call on social media than to spend years saving the old-fashioned way. Yet crowd-funding doesn’t make people entitled, insists finance expert Larissa Hamm, and instead “encourages us to think in a more entrepreneurial way”.

Let me share why this is significant: People would still like to have big weddings and many times are not in need of a bunch of gifts. They could get people to help with the wedding instead of asking for gifts or money. The people attending can actually see how their money was spent and feel more a part of the new couples life. After all, they helped get it started! It may seem crass now, however I predict that this will be the norm in a few years.

Crowdfunding Support for Victims of Pulse Shooting

Many have heard of the deaths of 50 people at a night club where a shooter entered in the early morning hours of Sunday morning. On Go fund me they are raising money for the families. Here is the quote from the webpage:

We are beyond moved by the support from all corners of the world and all walks of life. From average Americans, large corporations, celebrities, musicians, artists, and political figures, over 65,000 donations have been made towards Equality Florida’s Pulse Victim Fund, totaling to $2.8 million dollars. We do not know the total costs for the victims of this horrific hate crime, therefore are working to raise as much as possible and disperse the funds as fast as possible.

We would like to inform all supporters that Go Fund Me has contributed $100,000 towards this campaign, essentially waiving their transaction fee and ensuring the every single penny donated will go towards supporting the victims and their families. We are so grateful for all of the support the Go Fund Me team has provided.
