about the partner: numarket
NuMarket is a community crowdfunding tool for the food and bev businesses that you love. When you contribute to a campaign, you get 120% of your contribution back in store credit. It's a win-win because you get more for your money and the businesses don't take on debt or give up equity. We've helped over 150 businesses raise $2.8M+ including beloved businesses like Matchaful, Lighthouse Brooklyn, and Mamaleh's (and saloon’s own Fantzye Bagels!). We're always looking to meet more biz owners and help them raise money to grow!
Ross Chanowski, founder of NuMarket, is offering saloon members a 30-min one-on-one coaching session on “Funding Your Biz.” Email Ross, ross@numarket.co.
