SwipeSum Chats Episode 2: Crowdfunding and St. Louis Startups with Ched Wagner and Jeff Frankel of Nvsted

In this episode of SwipeSum Chats, Michael Seaman sits down with Ched Wagner and Jeff Frankel of St. Louis-based crowdfunding platform Nvsted to talk about crowdfunding, non-alcoholic beer, and the future of the Missouri startup scene. Though Nvsted is Missouri-focused, their platform welcomes investors from all across the nation to participate in funding companies stuck in a "funding gap," where they've exhausted their personal capital but aren't ready to seek investments from venture capital groups.

We're focusing on getting the word out that Nvsted is a platform for anybody, not just the incredibly wealthy, to invest in a local business and help them to receive the funding they need.

In this quick 20-minute episode, you'll hear about how Nvsted came to be, how they led their first campaign to success, and plans for future Nvsted offerings. This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in the St. Louis startup scene, whether you're an aspiring investor who doesn't know how to get involved or an entrepreneur looking for a creative way to grow your business.For more information about Nvsted, visit their website: nvstedwithus.com.
