How Equity Crowdfunding Actually Works for Your Business


Anna Guenther is the co-founder and Chief Bubble Blower of PledgeMe, New Zealand's first crowdfunding platform. Since launching six years ago, more than 1200 creative, community and entrepreneurial campaigns have raised over $23 million through PledgeMe.

In this session Anna will share insights into how equity crowdfunding can work for your business, from preparing your own campaign to activating your crowd.

Anna has previously worked for the New Zealand Government, MIT and Harvard, and completed her Masters in Entrepreneurship with a focus on crowdfunding. She moved to Australia as part of the HotDesQ programme, which coincided with changes in the legislation coming into effect allowing equity crowdfunding.
