  2. Fundraising Can Be Fun - Brainstorm alternative funding ideas, best practices, untold secrets, investor connections, and “all the things” that can help Trunkdrop raise money.

  3. PR & Social Media Influencers - How can Trunkdrop leverage influencers to expand and grow? Brainstorm tactics & strategies aimed at partnering with content creators and influencers.

  4. Win-Win Partnerships - Who would benefit from a strategic partnership with Trunkdrop? Brainstorm names of individuals, companies, and organizations that could be interested in hearing from Trunkdrop.

Survey for Next Steps

Thanks for the time you took today to bring everyone together and create positive energy. I love how you and BETA continue to bring awareness to all the great thinking and minds we have in MN and the Twin Cities!
