SUMMARY:Beyond the Bank: Tap into Non-Traditional Funding with Crowdsourcing
DESCRIPTION:Meet Kim Lewis: The Founder Who Turned Setbacks into Million-Dollar Opportunities \nAfter facing a major challenge with her first startup\, Kim didn’t give up—instead\, she pivoted and launched CurlMix in 2015\, a revolutionary DIY beauty brand for curly hair enthusiasts. \nIn 2019\, Kim made headlines on Shark Tank when she boldly turned down a $400\,000 offer\, standing firm in her belief that CurlMix was destined for bigger things. \nHer vision paid off. In 2021\, CurlMix made waves again by offering customers the chance to invest directly in the brand through equity crowdfunding. The result? A staggering $4.5 million raised from nearly 7\,000 investors. \nKim’s journey didn’t stop there. She’s since raised additional capital through institutional investors\, gaining firsthand insight into the benefits—and challenges—of both traditional and non-traditional funding sources. \nIn this dynamic session\, Kim will reveal her experiences as a founder who’s successfully navigated both worlds. Don’t miss her inspiring story and actionable insights into using community crowdfunding to fuel your own entrepreneurial dreams. \nThis event is presented in partnership with Future Founders\, an organization that is building the nation’s largest inclusive community of intentional young entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial-minded leaders. Future Founders\, run by EO Chicago member Scott Issen\, immerses youth ages 12-30 in experiences that inspire and empower them to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset and create their own opportunity. Since 2005\, they’ve served over 47\,000 youth and their founders generated $374M in revenue\, raised $299M in capital\, and created 1\,980 jobs. \nDuring the networking portion\, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with Future Founders’ top 18- to 30-year-old founders from across the country while they are in Chicago. Don’t miss your chance to connect with the next generation of entrepreneurs!

SUMMARY:Forum Training
DESCRIPTION:This will be a full day\, in-person forum training for all new SLPs & Members. \nForums are at the heart of EO. These safe\, confidential groups foster EO members’ peer-to-peer discussion and reflection in a supportive\, noncompetitive and nonjudgmental atmosphere.

We understand that you are busy and getting away for a day is challenging! So please allow us to explain… \nThe training will provide you with the knowledge and techniques necessary to get the maximum benefit out of your Forum – for both your business and personal growth. You will learn the mechanics of how Forum works\, best practices to help you get added value\, and you will actually practice the tools the techniques with your new Forum. You will learn and share with your Forum mates\, and start discussing what you want out of this Forum experience. \nPlease view this day as an investment in your own development\, where you will gain tools that you can utilize in both your personal and professional life – not just in Forum! \nPlease plan to work without technology. There will be small breaks for you to check your phone. \nIn addition\, you also need to register on EO Hub. Ensure you receive the email confirmation from them. For any issues\, reach out to Michelle at michelle@eochicago.org. \nClick HERE to register in EO Hub. \n
