MapableUSA.com: Equity crowdfunding is great, but as stated many times on the Mapable USA podcast, you must be able to build your crowd first – and that takes money. Sometimes, a lot of money. A basic element of crowdfunding success includes setting aside a budget for marketing purposes. But as many companies have learned the hard way, marketing is not as easy as it looks. That’s why in this episode, we interviewed Caleb Huey, Vice-President of Creative Strategy at the Creative Direct Marketing Group (CDMG) which is a full-service direct response advertising and marketing group that specializes in marketing the crowdfunding efforts for those companies seeking to utilize the JOBS Act capital raising benefits. The media marketing landscape has certainly changed from the good old days of print advertising to today’s meta-data strategies in order to find the right target audience of people, but listen to crowdfunding expert Mr. Huey as he explains how his company is using sophisticated marketing tools including laser focused transactional meta-data to collect information on consumers to help issuers identify and solicit the right kind of investors to make their crowdfunding efforts successful.

MapableUSA.com: Real estate is by far the most popular segment of the crowdfunding industry. The JOBS Act of 2012 fundamentally changed the way that real estate can and is being financed and marketed. Now real estate sponsors can advertise their deals online to raise both equity and debt, and investors can search those deals to directly invest in them. In this podcast, we spoke to Adam Gower, Ph.D of the National Real Estate Forum who talked about real estate syndications, how syndicators differ from sponsors, and how investors can participate in real estate syndication deals – and what the biggest issue there is today with real estate syndications that you must be aware of and understand.

MapableUSA.com: Crowdfunding is all about cooperation, and cooperation is a great way to build a crowd! While most of the focus on crowdfunding has referenced the JOBS Act, Cooperatives (co ops) are a form of money raising that’s gone somewhat under the radar. Until now! Co ops are just another form of crowdfunding where people (or “members”) can share in the future profits of a company and enjoy the benefits of their membership. Listen to this podcast where Dr. Robert Needham and Ron Sukenick from Simply Go Public explain exactly what a cooperative is, what options there are in terms of coop ownership, and why you may (or may not) want to start one for yourself.
