It's All About the Money March at Her Power Hustle. Kicking off our conversations about YOUR money are Geri Stengel, founder and president of Ventureneer and Dwight L. Peters, founder of Backershub. Dwight and Geri break down for us what crowdfunding is...you may think you know...but did you know there are 3 types of crowdfunding? See, you probably didn't know that. We go deep on how women can use crowdfunding to take their businesses to the next level and equally as important how to protect yourself along the way.

Geri and Dwight share great information on the following:

• Truths about repeat backers (spoiler alert: there are folks who have invested in as many as 300 campaigns!)
• Why women can excel at crowdfunding
• Tips for marketing your campaign effectively
• The most popular industries and categories for raising funding
• How the federal government plays a role in crowdfunding
• And information about Geri's and Dwight's own journeys in business
