UBERDOGZ goes on hunt for sustainable investors at Go Green Expo

On my quest to fund my fast casual eco-centric healthy hot dog brand UBERDOGZ  www.thegreenerweiner.com where the Slow Food movement meets the Fast Food Model.
I went to the  Go Green Expo in Los Angeles Jan 24th to a Sustainable Social Investor Forum where I heard Brett Conrad of Longboard Capital and Fran Seegull of Funk Ventures speak about sustainable investment.
I asked them what it would take to fund a  fast casual start up in the eco space?
