SUMMARY:[:en]Capital Strategy: Find and Secure the Right Capital Optionality[:]
DESCRIPTION:One of the primary obstacles early-stage entrepreneurs face is the lack of awareness around the complex landscape of capital options. With limited exposure to sources of financing\, early-stage entrepreneurs may struggle to identify which option aligns best with their business goals and growth trajectory. Additionally\, the ability to build relationships with potential investors or lenders and demonstrate market potential and a strong value proposition can be difficult with limited resources and competition. For underrepresented entrepreneurs\, these obstacles can unfortunately be greater. What can be done to overcome these challenges? \nThe Center is thrilled to be joined by Geri Stengel\, President at Ventureneer\, for an important conversation on capital strategy.
