Getting Started. Getting Funded. Finding Your Path to Impact & Success.

Join founders and funders with a passion for impact who are leading and funding innovative ventures helping to build a better world by solving climate, energy, and sustainability challenges.

Are you a founder or potential entrepreneur seeking to better understand funding options, timing, and resources available to you? Regardless of where you are in your entrepreneurial journey, join us to gain insights on forming, building, financing, operating, and scaling a venture with impact.

In this virtual session both founders and funders will offer advice to strengthen your fund-raising strategy with real-world, real-time, insights on funding sources, when to raise, resources available, how to engage funders, what funders value in their decision process, the vital role of your story, what worked (and did not), overall learnings, and finding your path to impact, success, and fulfillment.
