Collating information about Enterprise and Volunteering to put on SUSU website, as currently none available on the tabs.
Kat Carter explained her position and what the University do with Crowdfunding as a funding opportunity -
- 99% of crowdfunding projects are successful
- It is possible to do a single day event, as LSE have done, but it would be a first time for UoS
- Hubbub provide the platform
- Fees of 1.5% for payment gateways (PayPal), and 1.2% +20p for stripe (debit/credit cards) - no other additional cost
- Preferably want 4-6 projects, with 5 as an ideal number
- Can invite those that are already crowdfunding as well as new-starters to get a mix of projects
- UoS will facilitate tech, consulting on pitch, project, and crowdfunding application
- Suggest we partner with entertainment, perhaps at the Bridge, so that there is an incentive
- Kat can invite Alumni
- JF to take idea to BESTI to plant the seed about opportunity for Autumn
- Kat suggests a pre-event - Information meeting for funding can also promote this event
