Learn All About Crowd-Funding @ Bernardsville Library

Are you a budding entrepreneur who needs to find investors? Crowd-funding is the way things are done these days when it comes to raising money for your idea, product or invention. Learn all about crowd-funding on Monday, August 5 at 7:00 pm at Bernardsville Public Library when Basking Ridge resident Nick Romer, inventor of the Kreat-a-lope®, best-selling author, and an 18-year veteran of the home shopping industry, speaks about crowd-funding and websites like Kickstarter where it happens.

Generally speaking, crowd-funding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising small amounts of money from a large number of people.  It is a collective effort of individuals who network and pool their money, typically via the Internet, to support efforts initiated by other people or organizations.  It has been used to support a wide variety of activities, including disaster relief, citizen journalism, artistic ventures, political campaigns, startup companies, film promotion, new product development, and scientific research.
