Jump the Funding Gap: Recent Episodes
Kupchiy
So, you've never had a business idea? And if you got one, you'd have enough working capital on hand to develop it? Thank you - Jeff, Bill, and Elon - this podcast is not for you. Kupchiy's founder - Peter Rostovsky - interviews founders, entrepreneurs, and their teams on the experience of raising capital with investment crowdfunding.
Have they gone to Venture Capital (VC) firms before? How did they decide on investment crowdfunding? What did they do to plan, prep and execute the raise? How did they communicate with prospects & investors? What went well during the raise? What could they have done differently? How do they build & maintain trust with investors? Any advice for other founders & entrepreneurs?
Follow us for more advice & reflections from the veterans of equity crowdfunding campaigns & capital markets experts. Connect with Peter on LinkedIn (and expect a video/voice message upon contact).
In this podcast episode, Peter talks with Devin Thorpe, a leader in the investment crowdfunding industry and an impact investing advocate. We had a chat about his journey as well as his vision for how crowdfunding can change businesses and communities around them.

Welcome to "Jump The Funding Gap," the podcast where we explore the ins and outs of SMB finance to help community-oriented businesses to bridge the gap between needing capital and gaining it. We talk about the ways and means of raising capital with crowdfunding & accessing funding through other means, history of the sustainable finance industry, and the motivations of people behind it.
In each episode, we interview entrepreneurs who have gone through it, and industry professionals in investment crowdfunding, small business lending, and other areas of the financial services industry. We hope that you like the show!
In this interview, Josh Abady of Manna Cooking shares how he and his co-founders worked to secure funding from their 2020 campaign on Wefunder. In the first part of the episode we chat about why they founded Manna. Then we dive into the meat and potatoes of Josh's fundraising methods.
