Workshop Description: How to Find the Right Funding for Your Business

Tired of running into dead ends trying to raise money? Confused about how and wear to start the process? Ready to discover a wider range of funding options that truly fit your business?

Leverage the expertise of Gloria Ware who has 3 decades of experience securing over $175 Million in capital for businesses and non-profits and Chad Porter who has raised funding locally and across the country. Join us for an interactive session designed to explore alternative capital strategies tailored to meet the unique and diverse needs of small business owners and entrepreneurs.

In this workshop, we'll start by demystifying the funding process and addressing the hard truths, myths, and misunderstandings that often stand in the way. You’ll then explore a curated selection of non-traditional and little-known funding sources that could be the perfect match for your business.

We'll guide you through the pros and cons of each option, helping you identify which ones align best with your business goals. The session will also include an interactive segment called "What’s Your Funding Style?" where you’ll identify your funding persona—whether you’re just getting started or ready to scale—and find the approach that suits you best.

Finally, we’ll cover the essential Funding Foundations—the mindset, team, strategy, and relationships needed to set your business and funding quest up for success. This session will equip you with the knowledge, confidence and expanded options to help you find the funding that fits your business just right.

One attendee will be awarded a $500 business grant during the event!
