  • Equity crowdfunding event

Thursday, March 2nd at 5:30pm at The Pinkubator

Have you ever thought about equity crowdfunding? Would you like to have an exclusive discount on CrowdFunder.com? Come meet the CEO of the leader in equity crowdfunding, and be part of the special reveal on their unique female focus.
Chance Barnett is the CEO of Crowdfunder, the VC + Platform for early stage Venture Capital online.

In founding Crowdfunder, Chance played an early and significant role in JOBS Act legislation & regulation in Washington D.C. – engaging directly with top leadership across Congress, the White House, and the SEC. Chance and Crowdfunder have since been invited by foreign governments and private leadership around the world to consult on entrepreneurship and equity crowdfunding legislation for emerging markets.

  • High Five Conference

Tuesday, February 28th to Thursday, March 2nd at Sheraton Raleigh Downtown

The idea for High Five was conceived in 2013. For too long, local marketers and creatives needed to seek inspiration in the likes of Austin, San Francisco, and New York. We decided to create a conference that celebrated the talent and vibrancy of the Triangle—right here in the Triangle.

If you consider yourself a marketer and by that, we mean strategist, communicator, designer, creative director, product manager, developer, writer, and everyone in between or on the periphery, this conference is for you. You’ll be surrounded by a few hundred other creative thinkers craving collaboration to make new ideas happen, just like you.
