image006

Louisville, KY, Sept 15th, 2015 – Dream Funders, the new local “Shark Tank” inspired television series launching in December, proudly announces some early members of its Dream Team.  The program will include some of Louisville’s biggest names in the Venture Capital world.  Each of the Venture Funders listed below will take turns on the panel where local entrepreneurs with a Dream Business will present their idea.  Will these Venture Funders love it, hate it, or fund it?

The Program:  Dream Funders, hosted by Melissa Fraser who is a Partner at Strothman and Company, puts local entrepreneurs together with Louisville’s top venture capitalists and business coaches to create exciting television.  The program also allows viewers the opportunity to participate in crowd funding the entrepreneur if they like their idea. WBNA created the show to help our city dream big and highlight the city as a dynamic entrepreneurially focused town.  “It’s Shark Tank with a heart connecting Dreamers with Funders and Coaches.  The show promotes the concept that “Profit is a reward for serving your fellow man” and “Happiness is earned success,” said Tom Fawbush GM of WBNA.

 

Show Seeks Dreamers:  Dream Funders is also looking for the entrepreneur.  We know everyone has a Dream Business idea but doesn’t know where to start.  People can now present their idea to the folks that can help them live the dream.
