Kris Wheaton, associate professor at Mercyhurst University, will be speaking about his very successful Quickstarter program, which teaches would be entrepreneurs how to create and conduct a crowd-funding campaign, on a platform such as Kickstarter. To date, those that have used Wheaton’s program before seeking funding, have an almost 80% success rate in reaching their financial goal. Wheaton will be on the lookout for students who would like to help work with these companies in preparing for their launch.
