REMINDER: Entrepreneurs Panel Discussion is ONE WEEK AWAY!
3 Entrepreneurs talk to UMBC students about what it takes
The Entrepreneurs Panel Discussion of Fall 2015 will be held in ONE WEEK! Don't miss out on this awesome opportunity to network and ask questions to real entrepreneurs!
This Panel will be held on on Wednesday, November 18 at 12:00pm in University Center 310.
About the speakers
Danielle Burnett '05, President, Applied Technology Services - M.S.; Information Systems, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, B.S.; Information Systems, University of Maryland, Baltimore County; Certificate in Electronic Government, University of Maryland, Baltimore County; Project Management Professional Certification, Project Management Institute
Danielle's entrepreneurial journey began with an exorbitant amount of preparation and education. She incorporated Applied Technology Services (ATS) the year after graduating with her Bachelors from UMBC. At the time, she was working at J.P Morgan Chase as an IT Analyst, but she had a dream of being her own boss, so she formed ATS. In 2006, she brought on a family member and her first technical staff to grow and support her business while she still worked full time developing the business to the point where she could leave to run it full time. When she finally made that transition, ATS began to grow by leaps and bounds. Revenue doubled year over year until 2014 and she now has a staff of 14 employees and contractors supporting more than thirty (30) contracts. ATS is an IT solutions integrator and services provider providing solutions from the enterprise to the desktop to Education, State and Local Government customers. ATS is also a family business with four (4) family members on full-time staff and another one that supports their website.
Arsham Mirshah '08, Cofounder, WebMechanix B.S., Bioinformatics / Computational Biology, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Being an entrepreneur is not as hard as it might sound. If you've ever had a lemonade stand, been paid to shovel your neighbor's driveway, or even participated in a fund raiser, you're pretty much an entrepreneur. Arsham started in high school, where he installed modified car stereos for fellow students, for a fee of course. He then tried some (and does not recommend) multi-level marketing. During the second half of his term at UMBC, Arsham was helping his friend grow a startup recruiting & staffing business. Today, Arsham is almost 7 years into growing his company, WebMechanix. The company's mission is to deliver impactful economic results for clients through expert digital marketing, and to do it faster than anyone else in the world. Arsham's personal mission is to empower and support people in reaching their full potential.
Mike Vess '98, Chief Technology Officer, Kinglet B.S. Computer Science, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Mike has been a key player at several start-ups and is currently the CTO of Kinglet, a commercial real estate marketplace which provides flexibility and simplicity for small companies in search of office space. Kinglet's mission is to bring traditional office leasing into the modern sharing economy, like Zipcar did for cars and Airbnb did for travel. Since joining the company in June of 2014, Mike has been responsible for the initial launch and all iterations of the site and backend services that have followed. His previous experience includes Millennial Media, a Baltimore based mobile advertising company, where he helped the business grow over the course of 6 years to become a publicly traded company. He's fueled by Mountain Dew and misses his good friend sleep.

How to Use Crowdfunding Recap
Jamie shares tips and tricks to better utilize crowdfunding
Jamie McDonald, Chief Giving Officer of Network for Good, spoke to the UMBC community on the basics of crowdfunding, how to select the right crowdfunding platform, and the steps to follow to increase the likelihood of success.
If you missed this informative and exciting Workshop be sure to listen to the unedited audio of the Workshop available below.
Jamie first got the entrepreneurial bug when she started working for a banking firm early in her career. After learning many things at the firm, she decided to leave and launch her first company. From there, she launched and sold multiple companies and has learned how important and diverse crowdfunding can be.
Crowdfunding has a long history, spanning back to tribal communities when individuals would donate money to obtain new products. Crowdfunding is now linked to technology and social media, which has amplified the opportunities available to entrepreneurs. This link with technology has encouraged a "succeed/fail fast" mentality with crowdfunding. Despite the time gap, the idea of crowdfunding remains the same.
Jamie talked about how having “passionate ambassadors” to test and your idea is critical before starting a crowdfunding campaign. This "inner circle" should be friends and family who are willing to criticize your idea to make it better.
She then went on to talk about the factors an entrepreneur should consider when starting a crowdfunding campaign:
-
Timing & Deductibility- Before launching a campaign you need to think about timing and whether your idea is ready to be created. Do you have manufactures lined up? If you make this product will you be profitable? Do you have a marketing strategy? For example, if you launch a crowdfunding campaign for a product without having manufactures in line, how will you make those products in a timely manner?
- Audience- Most of the people who will support your crowdfunding campaign will be people you have already networked with. Some crowdfunding sites allow you to reach an audience outside of that network, but you can’t always count on this. Therefore, it is important to use the cheapest crowdfunding avenue possible because most often, you are going to be delivering the audience. If you don’t think you have a strong audience, take a step back and see if you can rework your network to get more established. Once you have a stronger audience, go back to the idea of launching a crowdfunding campaign.
- Marketing Strategy- Share the creative journey with your ambassadors and supporters. You need to have a marketing plan in place before launching a campaign to ensure that you can properly market your idea during and after the campaign.
- Funding and Cost- There are three different crowdfunding options you can choose from when selecting a campaign. Be sure to select the one that will benefit you the most. When it comes to cost take into consideration time and marketing.
- All or Nothing- If your campaign doesn’t make it's goal, all supporters get their money back. This option can motivate supporters to share your campaign with friends. However, this method is high risk and expensive. (Ex- Kickstarter)
- Tipping Point- Your campaign needs to reach x% and you get to keep what you make. If it doesn’t reach x% you lose the what you make. This option can motivate supporters to share your campaign with friends. This is the least expensive method but still has high risk. (Ex- Indiegogo)
- Get What You Raise- Whatever you make on your campaign, you keep. This method is more expensive but has less risk. It doesn’t have the competitive feel that All or Nothing and Tipping have.
- Rewards- Rewards in campaigns are important because they encourage someone to donate. For example, if you are selling a product related to coffee, you might offer an award of two bag of coffee for every $25 donated. This way, the donor will get something, regardless of the success of the campaign.
- Value- What’s the value of using a crowdfunding campaign that brings an audience vs what’s the value of just getting the money? Whatever amount you want to raise by doing a campaign, you should assume it will cost 20% of that money raised.
Remember that crowdfunding is just one of the tools to help you launch your business. You must surround your campaign with strong social media networks, friends and family, and other avenues of communications in order to be successful.
