Social Causes and Crowdfunding: live updates from the International Startup Festival in Montreal

Posted on July 12, 2013

Watch the recorded Google hangout as Craig Asano, Marty Gunderson, and Sunny Shao of NCFA Canada speak with Heri Rakotomalala of  Seeding Factory, who joined live from the Crowdfunding tent at the International Startup Festival in Montreal. NCFA and Seeding Factory discuss social cause crowdfunding projects, such as La Pleb's flash mob style crowdfunding campaign to raise $1,000 in one day for the community of La Megantic from the train explosion disaster. Over 13% has been raised at the time of posting from in-person donations alone at the Crowdfunding tent, but you still have time to contribute before the end of the day July 12 by clicking here.
