BlogaliciousFIVE! Oct. 3-5, 2013

Elisa and the BlogHer women have been mentors to Blogalicious since its inception (even before!). They’ve paved the way as builders of a community-based brand that’s a force to be reckoned with. And they’ve made smart decisions along the way about how to grow and fund it. We are so looking forward to hearing about funding options from Elisa, who understands our space intimately and has a track record of inspiring success.

Funding Your Dream: What to know, who to know, and perhaps most importantly: What NOT to do

Entrepreneurs come in many forms. Solopreneurs, small business owners, start-up founders. College drop-outs and PhDs. Tech, business, and liberal arts backgrounds alike. When most people think about getting "funding", venture capital (or VC) companies spring to mind. Today, though, the venture world's Series A, B, and C have these alphabetical alternatives: Angel, Bootstrapping, and Crowdfunding. There are many winding roads you may travel as an entrepreneur. Learn about new ways to fund and launch companies, and how the rest of us, without billion-dollar valuations, get the job done.
