ProFounder Facilitating The Healthy Soda Revolution
Just launched crowdfunding solution ProFounder.com is helping entrepreneurial companies like Barbara Corcoran's Chill Soda to raise community sourced growth capital in a way that has never been done before, while also benefiting non-profits.
Online, November 22, 2010 (Newswire.com) - ProFounder.com, officially launching today, is a new crowdfunding platform for U.S. entrepreneurs to raise capital from their communities to start or grow a small business.
One of the initial entrepreneurial companies ProFounder is doing a Public Raise for is Chill Beverage Company, Inc., maker of Chill Low Glycemic Organic Soda. Chill Soda was recently featured on ABC's Shark Tank and invested in by Barbara Corcoran.
Chill Soda is currently looking to raise additional capital for their healthy soda revolution and a nationwide rollout in early 2011. They found Profounder's unique financing solutions for small business to be an ideal fit for their growth capital needs. ProFounder's Public Raise crowdfunding solution provides any individual who wants to support a business they believe in, such as Chill Soda, the ability to easily and legally invest online. Chill Soda pays back each investor their share of revenues up to 100% of their investment over time. Everything above and beyond this is redirected to a non-profit chosen by the company. Chill Soda for example selected non-profit I Love Schools, for their nationwide contributions to much needed classroom resources.
ProFounder was started by Jessica Jackley and sprung from the international microloan work she has done with her company Kiva. Kiva gift cards were named Friday as one of Oprah Winfrey's 2010 Ultimate Favorite Things. With Kiva, Jessica saw parallels in the similar needs of U.S entrepreneurs to gain easier access to capital and grow their small businesses through community involvement. Companies like Chill Soda who have unique products that really resonate with the public are perfect for attracting crowdfunding investment. ProFounder believes in entrepreneurs and their ability to make positive change in the world. The power of supportive communities will change the way small businesses and start-ups are supported in America.
