You have to find and get in touch with a company to take a bet on your vision by opening their checkbooks and giving you their brand’s stamp of approval. The stakes are high— landing a major customer can be what puts you on the map and fuel your future growth. \nJoin us for a panel discussion with experts from Nasdaq\, Bank of the West\, Microsoft Entrepreneurship for Positive Impact\, and Kloopify to uncover how you catch a big GREEN fish and close more deals. They will cover some of the tips and tactics you need to know to connect with the right people\, how to pitch them\, and how to hopefully get more contracts across the line. They will also cover how to become a certified women owned business enterprise (WBE) and how this can increase your chances of getting deals from corporates. \nIf you are creating impact as a B2B company\, this event is for you! \n  \nSpecial Guests: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShervin Rafsandjani\nPublic Sector and Digital Alliances – National Transformation Partnerships\nAt Microsoft for almost 15 years with an enterprise sales background I moved into licensing and from there into dealmaking as a licensing executive.
