Brewbound is pleased to announce that Brian Meece, the CEO of the crowd-funding platform RocketHub, will speak at the Brewbound Session on Nov. 29 in San Diego.
Crowdfunding is becoming an increasingly popular way for craft brewers to raise small amounts of capital from multiple sources. With more than 1,300 breweries in planning looking to get off the ground, the search for capital is a fierce one.
Meece will discuss how crowdfunding platforms like Rockethub are changing the fundraising game for small-batch producers. During his presentation, Meece will explain why crowdfunding is such a powerful tool for startups and how craft brewers can best leverage a consumer thirst for handcrafted beer to secure the funding necessary to build a brand.
Following his talk, Meece will take part in a question and answer session with audience members.
