Hello,
I have organized a real estate crowdfund discussion panel this Wednesday, April 30, in New York City. It should be a great event with 100+ attendees, hosted by Harvard alumni.
Unfortunately, one speaker may need to cancel last minute due to a city building meeting. While this is short notice, I wanted to see if there is a BP member who who might like to join the panel and share their views on crowdfunding.
We'd need someone who has acted as a developer/operator or investor on more than one crowdfund platform and gone through the funding/investing process several times; who has given serious thought to the crowdfund sites and impact on their business, and who is definitely able to be in New York this coming Wednesday. iFunding and Patch of Land are among the panelists. The event does not pay a speaker's fee, but the audience, publicity and fellow panelists are excellent.
Please connect with me/write me here on BP if you'd like to explore, and thanks in advance for any quick responses. See http://www.hbscny.org/article.html?aid=992 for more information.
Scott, Brian Dally, founder & CEO with www.groundfloor.us is someone I've corresponded with several times (I've actually invested in a couple of their projects) and is very knowledgeable on the subject - and a Harvard alum I believe. If he isn't already involved with your panel, he would likely be a good addition.
Thanks for suggesting Brian, David. He and Groundfloor are great. We have been in touch. I've got bases covered for crowdfunding platform execs for this event, but greatly appreciate you making a suggestion. Still looking for a property developer or NYC investor. Best wishes, Scott
Thanks for suggesting Ankit, Darren. I will get in touch with him.
At this point, I've received several private suggestions for crowdfund panelists. I appreciate all the responses and recommendations. As this group is likely to have someone that's a fit, I would say no need for more inquiries at this point. Thanks again, everyone,
