Patty Rodriguez shared some exciting and inspiring news with Ryan Seacrest on-air on Thursday, July 8: you can now invest in her company, Lil' Libros!
Over the holiday weekend, Patty and her business partner Ariana Stein raised over $2 million.
"I started Lil' Libros six years ago with my best friend and the past few years we’ve been thinking about how to scale and we met with a few investors but it never felt right," Patty shared, revealing the idea then came "to sell the company to the same people that built the company which is our community."
"A week ago we launched an equity crowdfunding campaign and we’ve raised over $2 million since we launched with our community all investing," Patty added. "Many of them investing for the first time."
Patty explained that "this is the future not only for small businesses to access capital" but also "for our community to start creating generational wealth."
