Hi everybody.

Are you a start-up business looking to raise funds? Or maybe you’re looking to work with-- or for-- such a business? Then again, maybe you’re just looking to invest a small sum of money in a start-up? If so, then you'll enjoy listening to this episode of Looking Forward. On it, you'll hear what my guest expert, Kat Kuzmeskas, says about a relatively new way to do any of the things I just mentioned. It's called Regulation Crowd Funding, or "Reg CF" for short.

Among other things, Kat will talk about (1) crowdfunding, and how it's being used to raise funds for a whole variety of individuals, nonprofits, and businesses, (2) Reg CF, the relatively recent, crowdfunding-related regulations in the United States, which allow startup businesses to raise funds from "regular" investors, not necessarily high net-worth individuals, and (3) the opportunities that Reg CF offers not only to businesses, but to small investors all over the globe who want to participate in a startup's potential growth... and possibly gain an equity share down the road.

Kat will also speak about the job and freelancing opportunities that these Reg CF startups offer, and in true Looking Forward fashion, she'll offer some tips on how to capitalize on some of the opportunities she mentions.

Now a little more about Kat: Kat Kuzmeskas is the President of Tamarin and Shyro, two health care companies. She has dedicated her entrepreneurial career to making data more accessible in healthcare, especially for patients.

As a former hospital administrator at Yale New Haven Health, she was shocked to learn that it was easier to buy healthcare data than it was for patients and providers to access data for care. So, she wanted to tackle this issue.

Kat is also a Teach For America alum, having taught in under-served communities along the Texas-Mexico border.

You can learn more about Kat and her companies by contacting her on LinkedIn, e-mailing her at katherine@shyro.health, or visiting the websites https://www.tamarin.health/ or https://www.shyro.health/
