Fundraising expert Julia Elliott Brown, the CEO of Enter The Arena, talks with Emilie Vanpoperinghe from OddBox about how she raised £530k through crowdfunding for her mission driven wonky fruit and veg business, how she used clever commercial terms to fund the business in the early days and how offering advanced subscriptions helped her get cash in the bank fast.
