Indiegogo is a crowdfunding site with over $50 million in funding. Danae Ringelmann, Indiegogo’s co-founder, has made it her priority to create a culture that’s based on more than free lunches and kombucha kegs. At Hustle Con, Ringelmann will explain how she uses her company’s values to make smart hires, increase employee retention rate, and make her team highly efficient.

1. Why Indiegogo?
I want to democratize funding.
2. Why do I want to democratize funding?
Because the gatekeeping system is broken.
3. Why are gatekeepers not good?
They don’t allow for an equal opportunity of
entrepreneurial ideas.
Life should just be fair.
It’s just what I believe.
4. Why is equal opportunity important for
entrepreneurship?
Because life should be fair: everyone deserves an
equal shot at success.
5. Why should life be fair?
Really? And why do you love your kids?
You just do.
