| Adam Chapnick from Indiegogo |
It was a lively panel indeed that kept the crowd interested, in spite of the noise factor from the huge crowd in attendance that night. Adam Chapnick from Indiegogo in Los Angeles and San Francisco held the attention of the crowd with his genuine enthusiasm and passion for crowd funding and how it’s helped so many entrepreneurs. After all, it is the first crowd funding platform and has by far has been the most successful one for raising capital.
