Funding Explosion in Natural Resources and Real Estate highlighted in Newport Beach Conference

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - June 10, 2014 - PRLog -- For the first time, this conference will bring together the foremost real estate and natural resources crowdfunding experts and family offices who will share on their  exceptional growth in these industries.

The new generation of crowdfunding and family office investors alongside traditional and institutional investors will convene on one stage with the help of The Soho Loft - the Voice of Capital Formation,  FundingPost, and with the support of Victoria Global, an emerging force in the corporate communications, investor relations, and public relations arena. This pioneering landmark conference will link finance with the business of real estate and natural resources.

Real Estate crowdfunding is getting a lot of traction these days as more people and investors are becoming aware of its benefits. You can read more on this in our articles on Forbes:

Conversely, energy, oil & gas and metals & minerals are valuable natural resources that need to be harnessed to provide a stable source of power and create a sustainable economy.

This event will have an interesting assemblage of entrepreneurs, investors, VCs, Angels and Corporate, professionals, service providers, media and the academe that are all involved in these industries.

There will be plenty of time to network all throughout the event. Stephen Silver (http://thesoholoft.com/speaker-profile-of-stephen-silver/) of the National Angel Investor Group, will conduct a pitching workshop for entrepreneurs who want to polish their pitching skills. Lunch and after-event cocktails give participants the perfect chance to discuss their big ideas with potential investors. An added perk for all attendees is the investor kit which will include the participants' profiles and distributed to investors like Stephen Silver and Amir Banifatemi (http://thesoholoft.com/speaker-profile-of-amir-banifatemi/), the Managing Partner of K5 Ventures.

David Drake (http://ldjcapital.com/david/), chairman and founder of The Soho Loft, will moderate all the discussions. He says, “Investing in real estate will further propel the country’s economy forward because more jobs are created and more people are engaged; investing by the crowd is a worthy means to an end.” Furthermore, he adds, “Inviting the crowd to invest in  projects to produce oil and gas from our oil shale reserves is in sync with the direction to make us an oil and gas-independent country.”
