Seedkicks founder and CEO Emily Collins explained the opportunity;
“The Startup Challenge gives people that are on the fence a good reason to raise money via Crowdfunding.”
“We want the Startup Challenge to bring attention to Crowdfunding, which many people still don’t know is a viable way to fund their business.”
“By raising capital with the Startup Challenge, companies can gain access to investors they might not ordinarily have.”
Seedkicks, based in Santa Monica, California, is a rewards based crowdfunding platform for entrepreneurs and non-profits. The company’s mission is “to provide entrepreneurs with access to the seed money they need for success. The platform was built on the notion that with enough drive and determination you can do anything you put your mind to. Starting a business comes with enough challenges, raising capital being one of the toughest. So our mission is to make one challenge a little bit easier”.
Emily left a secure corporate job with bonuses and a solid 401k to join this booming industry. She stated, “this was the best decision I ever made”. Now she, along with her company SeedKicks, wants to help your company grow.
