Other People's Money: Financing Options to Grow Your Business

“The reason most businesses fail or stagnate is that they are undercapitalized. There comes a time in the life of every company where meaningful growth
can’t happen without truly capitalizing the company.” - Julie Garella, author of Capitalize on Your Success

 

Are you feeling pain and/or constraints because you need money to grow your business?  Do you have a glimmer of what you would do with the money and want to know whether that intention translates to capital? Do you know what your options are?

Depending on the nature of your business, the best capital could be debt, a jumpstart from a partnership or existing customer, or an equity investment.  With an aperture toward the challenges that specifically face women and their businesses, this interactive roundtable will help you assess which source of capital is right for you.

After a brief presentation by those who have “been there,” you will be guided in discussion with seasoned entrepreneurs and investors to help you on the journey toward getting money.

Experts include:
Jean Hammond, Golden Seeds
Stephanie Khurana, Managing Director, Higher Aims LLC
Susan Mazur, Member, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr's Venture Group
Rose Saia, CEO, The Capital Network
Sandy Serkes, President & CEO, Valora Technologies
Kathy Sherbrooke, President, Circles
