Entrepreneurs and investors from around the globe will come together for the second annual event, taking place in Los Angeles from September 21–23, 2022. The immersive experience will have a strong focus on issuers actively raising capital and investors seeking the next unicorn while embracing the city of L.A.
“We look forward to representing Canada at 2022 Equity Crowdfunding Week,” said Peter-Paul Van Hoeken, Founder and CEO of FrontFundr. “As Canada’s leading equity crowdfunding platform, it’s important for us to be at the forefront of industry innovation. We’re excited to see the companies raising capital, connect with global industry experts and share our experience and lessons as well.”
