The event was tailor-made for startups, small and medium (social) entrepreneurs, civil society associations, innovators, enthusiasts, altruists, travel writers, artists, but also all those who’ve only heard the term thrown about. As always, our aim was to refresh awareness about alternative financing methods, spread the knowledge about some truly incredible possibilities of crowdfunding, and most importantly, support the Croatian crowdfunding community. ZCC took place @ZICER – Zagreb Innovation Center (av. Dubrovnik 15, Zagrebački Velesajam, Pavilion 12, 1st floor) on Tuesday, October 11th. If in any case you had missed it, we got you covered!
