We recently hosted Bond, a conference that explored how independent creators and entrepreneurs make a living on the internet through crowdfunding and community patronage. On March 9th, we featured a diverse and eclectic lineup of speakers at Gray Area Grand Theatre in San Francisco. Each speaker had a unique perspective on what it takes to establish your creative practice as a sustainable, independent business.
