NuMarket

With About Town, I'm so excited to work with NuMarket, a company I have long admired! NuMarket helps food and beverage businesses raise money via campaigns with their community. It's a win-win for the business and the community—the business doesn't give up equity or take on a loan and anyone who contributes to the campaign gets 120% of their contribution back in store credit. Do you have a local business that you LOVE and think could be a potential candidate for a NuMarket campaign? Comment below and I'd be happy to reach out to them!

Thanks to Retail Alliance in Virginia for having us to talk about the importance of strengthening Main Streets through crowdfunding. Our Founder Ross Chanowski shared the stage with Matthew Wagner, Ph.D. Main Street America & Jenny Crittenden. More announcements about our work in Virginia to come!

Local press + Local business is a great combo. Almost as great as this article about The Cheese Shop's NuMarket campaign, from the The Portland Press Herald

This is not an April Fools Joke. ?? I was interviewed by Ross Chanowski from NuMarket a few weeks ago and they just posted the article. I walk through what we are doing at Baton, how SMB owners can go through the sales process on our site. Thanks to NuMarket for the shout out and SMB owners should check them out if they are looking to expand! https://lnkd.in/erZm9egE

HUGE announcement, friends! It’s official— we’re opening the Matchaful Culinary Lab + Café in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, and we need your help to make it happen! This new space will feature our very first dedicated culinary production facility and café, allowing our team to expand our menu offerings and create more delicious, sustainable foods in a creative space of their own. We launched a NuMarket?campaign to help us fund our new equipment, grow our team, and help this next stage of Matchaful come to life. For every dollar that you contribute to our campaign, you’ll receive 120% back in credits to use at our cafés in Manhattan or our soon-to-open Brooklyn location. Check out the campaign to learn more, contribute, and be a part of our journey! P.S. For our longtime supporters, it’s been nearly six years since our first pop-up in Dumbo and we can’t wait to come back! https://lnkd.in/eDT9Ahta

Calling all chefs and food biz owners! Want to learn how to grow your way? Join Hotplate and NuMarket for a free online panel on April 2, from 12 pm - 1 pm EST. Whether it’s scaling your popup or opening a brick and mortar (and everything in between!), Founders Ross Chanowski and Rishi Talati discuss how you can fund what’s next for your business with your community by your side.

We asked a customer what they're charged by their delivery platform. "23% for us. They are awful." Small business owners are being crushed with fees like that and interest rates upwards of 18%. To combat this, NuMarket will be sharing #startups and leaders making real change in the #SMB world with our customers. People like Chat Joglekar at Baton, Irene Shiang Li at Prepshift, Jordan Silverman at Starfish, Derek E. Canton at Paerpay and Rachel Kishore at Empowered Economy Who else is doing things right in the SMB space? Drop them in the comments so we can help them out.
