We're just about to kick off today's #ManifestMornings virtual conversation with Kate Anderson of @iFundWomen! Grab your breakfast and get ready for a discussion on how to champion women entrepreneurs so that we all benefit: https://bit.ly/2VgfF0U 

After getting her start at a male-dominated real estate development company, Kate jumped into the startup world with a conversation platform for women called Be Proud. It was a big shift to working in an environment where women were the leaders. #ManifestMornings @iFundWomen

At @iFundWomen, Kate helped create a platform where women could not only access capital, but also take advantage of coaching/mentoring and be part of a community. #ManifestMornings

What is #crowdfunding? It's a new approach to funding your #smallbusiness where you raise small amounts of money from people you know to get your biz off the ground. The risks are simply your ego! #ManifestMornings @iFundWomen

"You don’t just decide one day to run a marathon. You have a training program, a plan of how you’re going to get there. That’s really what #crowdfunding is for your business." - Kate Anderson, @iFundWomen #ManifestMornings

Q&A: Tips for helping crowdfunding not feel like begging your friends and family for money? "Work on your pitch. If you want ideas, go on @iFundWomen & watch pitch videos. Don’t think about your business as a charity. Be excited. #ManifestMornings

Thanks to all who attended another great #ManifestMornings conversation! We're glad you chose to start your day with a dose of inspiration and connection via our community and @iFundWomen. See you next week for our talk with Nick Mathews of @theMainVest.
