EDA Funding provides funding solutions for existing, revenue-generating companies through their EDA Fund (a hybrid venture capital/private equity/investment bank fund) and for new or smaller businesses, ideas, products through their software-as-a-service platform- CrowdBuild ™- which guides users through the process of market automation, social media and CRM to build the needed community and metrics to launch a crowdfunding campaign.

The CrowdBuild ™ startup, nonprofit and small business marketplaces needs a strong sales force to educate and expand the solution’s footprint. EC provides the necessary training and management of virtual teams that is vital to the launch and growth of services such as CrowdBuild ™ without obscuring the brand or creating confusion in the marketplace.

EC is a B2B sales and marketing, private label management firm that has over 25 years of experience in the financial service, distribution, public relations and crisis management world.

Nick Mathius of EDA Funding’s CrowdBuild Division explains: “As part of the In Focus Brands’ network and with its deep industry knowledge, EC was our best choice to train and expand our sales force for CrowdBuild ™. The sales directors have been hired and will be trained starting in January to coincide with our service launch. We are excited to bring this pre-funding solution to any level company but especially to the startup, nonprofit and small business communities.”

Up next for the CrowdBuild ™ Team, a speaking tour to universities, incubators, small business and entrepreneur community groups. For more information on the CrowdBuild ™ service, please contact Nick at: thecrowd@edafunding.com.
