I couldn’t be more excited to bring you this podcast episode with Ron Miller, a serial entrepreneur and the CEO of the StartEngine equity crowdfunding platform.
Ron is a four time Inc. 500/5000 Award recipient and an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of The Year Award Finalist!
I learned so much about equity crowdfunding and the regulatory landscape in this interview.
We also went behind the scenes of Elio Motor’s wildly successful test the waters campaign and broke down exactly how they did it.
I was actually impressed by at how the team leveraged new mediums like YouTube and Vine to spread awareness about the campaign.
