So how do co-ops raise the capital they need to start-up and make it past the breakeven point? Come hear from Dave Swanson, Partner at Dorsey & Whitney and Josh Bakke, CPA at Moss Adams about the ways cooperatives can legally raise funds without violating Hawaiʻi and federal securities laws. Local co-ops will also share their experiences about what fundraising approaches have and have not worked.Refer to the event website for more information.
