The Kingonomics Conference and Boot Camps will bring together over 100 experts in business and investment teaching thousands of entrepreneurs from across the United States and around the world to engage in an intense and interactive learning experience, where timely knowledge about access to capital, business growth and investments will come from leading entrepreneurs and active investors. The Kingonomics Curriculum is divided into four tracks: Start Up (for entrepreneurs and business owners); Invest Up (for investors); Sprout Up (for youth and young adults) and Expose Up (Raising money through Crowdfunding).
