At The New Majority\, her focus is on New Majority founders\, founders who identify as women\, People of Color\, and LGBTQIA+\, but this session is open (and applicable!) to all founders. This session will focus on foundational information on types of crowdfunding and learning through case studies. \nThis HYBRID event is offered in-person at the Lobo Rainforest Building and virtually via Zoom. Join virtually using this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85945816511 \nAbout the Speaker: \nMackenzie Loy is the founder and CEO of The Homemade Marketplace and The New Majority. Mackenzie founded the first Homemade Marketplace hub\, Homemade in DC\, to accelerate other women entrepreneurs of Color building their food businesses with a mission to close the racial and gender wealth gap through entrepreneurship. While growing Homemade\, she launched The New Majority\, a media company making it easier for everyday (non-accredited) New Majority (women and BIPOC individuals) investors to invest directly into founders who look like them. She holds an MPP and MBA from Georgetown and prior to grad school\, she worked with non-profits\, state agencies\, and Fortune 500 companies to launch and grow their innovation programs and has a background in sales and business development. To this day\, she loves a good SOP\, a “Yes and” mentality\, and of course\, a great cinnamon roll. \nNew Mexico Rainforest Spring Seminar Series:  \nUNM Rainforest Innovations is hosting their Spring 2024 Seminar series. UNMRI provides entrepreneurial training and technical assistance at the University of New Mexico main and branch campuses. The seminars are free and open to the UNM community and the public via in-person and web access\, but registration is required.
