Weber, CEO and Co-Founder of W3i Holdings, LLC, was the keynote speaker at the 4th Annual RAIN Makers Conference held at the St. Cloud Civic Center in St. Cloud, MN.

According to the Economist, “America gets more than half of its economic growth from industries that barely existed a decade ago.” “The Internet has opened a new frontier for entrepreneurs. Growing our business to $27 million and over 50 employees has been a challenge. We have always utilized the advice and support of our investors.” comments Rob.

“RAIN Source Capital provides a solid template that makes it possible for people who’d like to be active investors to step up to the plate. Through the RAIN® funds, individual angel investors can share the expertise, the capital, the work, the risk and the financial and emotional rewards of supporting entrepreneurs, building growing companies, and having a positive impact on their community, as well as making money.” said John Reid, RAIN fund member.
