Franchise Capital Exchange is one of the industry’s premiere events for founders, CEOs and CFOs of franchise brands that are planning to grow through capital investment. In this week’s podcast, Social Geek Radio hosts Jack Monson and Deb Evans were joined by Mary Ann O’Connell, founder and president of FranWise, the company behind the event, to explain exactly what Franchise Capital Exchange is all about.
O’Connell says, "Franchise Capital Exchange is franchising's best kept secret." But she also shared that this year is the 5th year of Franchise Capital Exchange and has always "sold out"!
The event—which always sells out—is currently celebrating its 5th year. But Franchise Capital Exchange is an invitation only event, and attendance is confidential. O’Connell explains the what, why and how being the event, and the challenges that come with growing Franchise Capital Exchange without publicizing its attendees.
