Crowdfunding for business owners with Olivia Owens

In this episode, I sit down with Olivia Owens, the creator and general manager of iFundWomen of Color. We sat down to geek out on all things crowdfunding including dispelling some of the top myths about crowdfunding for entrepreneurs.

Olivia fills us in on what makes a successful crowdfunding campaign, the importance of building community, and why there are no magical money elves in business or crowdfunding.

"There's so much strategy and pre-work that goes into it," Olivia Owens says. "And so we've always seen coaching as a core part of being able to crowdfund successfully. We also know that women on our platform who invest in our coaching and video services raise 27x the crowdfunding industry average."
