Justin Grainger Speaker
Dave Bell How tech, apps and the Internet has changed the world Most businesses today use email, the Internet and have a website, but that’s so last year. Technology, software applications and the Internet have changed the world over the past two decades, but technology continues to evolve at such a fast pace that it can be overwhelming, hard to understand and even more so to implement in to our daily lives. Join David Bell a highly accomplished, awardwinning, techentrepreneur and discover the stories & secrets of the digital revolution. Justin Grainger Crowdfunding Business Growth Capital Justin is the founder of Bury St Edmunds based CrowdFundMe2 which helps entrepreneurs raise equity capital to support the growth or scaling of their business, through crowdfunding. After 25 years of corporate finance and the pain of the banking crash, he took his finance consultancy part time to study and research ecosystem services in Cambridge & Belfast where the connection between business finance and natural ecosystems was made. Crowdfunding from a large population of people seemed a much healthier and sustainable way to raise finance and CrowdFundMe2 was born. Richard Pond – Digital Marketing Explained
