Description

Learn about equity crowdfunding and what it means for Wichita startups and the investors who fund them. You've probably heard of GoFundMe and Kickstarter. This isn't either of those. This is equity crowdfunding – and it's the future for Wichita businesses, startups and the investors who fund them. Equity crowdfunding makes it possible for the average person at any asset or income level to invest in a company and own a piece of it at a micro level. No more high minimums required to participate. No more limitations on who sees what deals. This is the ultimate game-changer, leveling the playing field on capitalism. 100% OF PROCEEDS GO TO A CROWD-SELECTED ORGANIZATION All proceeds from ticket sales will go to an entrepreneurial and/or startup supporting organization in Wichita. Which one? That's up to you. When you register, your confirmation email will have a link to a poll where you can vote on your top three organizations to receive proceeds from ticket sales. The final organization will be chosen during the event by the crowd. Fill the room with us, so we can invest in Wichita! WHAT INVESTORS ARE SAYING Crowdfunding is already making waves – and history – in Wichita with Knowledge as a Service, Inc. (KaaS) raising more than $100,000 in just 30 days. “As I recently stated in [the Wichita Business Journal], I think the technology industry in Wichita is poised to take off, but we have to be in this together supporting technology companies in Wichita. I have to put my money where my mouth is and do my part to make sure that technology companies in Wichita succeed. I hope this helps toward that.” – Dustin Baty, Wichitan “I'm excited for the work you guys are doing and the possibilities it brings for our Wichita community!” - Kristena Shiflett, Wichitan “As a nine-year resident of Wichita, I have grown to love the spirit of our town. KaaS is my first investment in a Wichita company. I have made pre-IPO investments in FinTech, Space and Hydroponics.” – Director at a Large Company, Wichitan See the details: wefunder.com/kaas.
