<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>Green Ladder Funding  is a process for Green, Sustainable, and Triple-Bottom-Line companies  to raise capital from like-minded investors who have an affinity for  your company's mission. &nbsp;</div>
<br />
<div></div>
<div>
<div></div>
<div>Most traditional  funding sources care about 1 thing: the bottom line. &nbsp;Banks, and most  VC's, and Angels don't care about your purpose or the difference your  company you will make. &nbsp;Yet, many startups with a triple bottom line  waste valuable time and energy pursuing these unlikely investment  avenues.</div>
<br />
<div>There's a better way. &nbsp;In this  knowledge-packed event, you will learn how to raise money using a  little-known set of state and federal mandates which allow companies to  advertise and market offerings directly to the public. These new  regulations are making a major difference in the way companies can raise  money.&nbsp;</div>
<br />
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>Just as the Obama campaign illustrated  that it was possible to raise millions from individuals rather than  relying on large corporate donors, entrepreneurs are now raising large  sums from many small investors in the $10-$30k range. The ability to  advertise direct to the public has changed the fundraising landscape,  making it possible for both startups and existing companies to reach  affinity investors and raise money without relying solely on banks,  angels, and venture capitalists.</div>
<br />
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>In this 2-hour  program with time for Q&amp;A, you will learn practical  rubber-meets-the-road tools to:</div>
<li>Reach a new,  untapped pool of high-probability investors&nbsp;</li>
<li>Structure your deal  with 3 insider tricks-of-the-trade you won&rsquo;t learn anywhere  else&mdash;especially from attorneys.</li>
<li>Close investors in 5 working  days by making an investment offer that investors can&rsquo;t refuse.</li>
<div>If  you have a green, sustainable, or triple-bottom line business, and need  capital to implement or expand it, these two-hours may open a new  avenue for you to successfully raise capital and grow your business. &nbsp;</div>
