Aug 8th: Be a Crowdfunding Success: An Alternative Way to Raise Capital for Small Business Owners




Tahoe Silicon Mountain, a network of technology professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee area, is pleased to welcome Casey Sibley to present: “Be a Crowdfunding Success: An Alternative Way to Raise Capital for Small Business Owners”

Crowdfunding is becoming a popular small business funding alternative to boot-strapping, self-funding, or applying for a small business loan.

Casey Sibley, owner and designer at Casey D. Sibley Art + Design, a Reno, NV based studio specializing in hand-painted and digitally printed textiles, will talk about how she planned, built, and launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $10,000 to expand her business.

Sibley will discuss how, with both a limited budget and social reach, she went from an idea to launching her successful Kickstarter campaign. She’ll share with us how she chose the crowdfunding platform, built trust with her backers, got the word out, developed rewards, and kept momentum going as the funding deadline approached.

The meeting will be on Monday, August 8th, 6-8 pm at Pizza on the Hill, in Tahoe Donner at 11509 Northwoods Blvd., Truckee. A $5 fee includes pizza and salad. Before and after the presentation, there will be time for networking with other technology professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee region.

The event will also be livestreamed and available online as it happens on YouTube: bit.ly/YouTubeTSM
