When economic bubbles burst, the fallout hurts a lot of people. Start-up and early-stage companies are among the most vulnerable. It's no secret that many venture capital firms, burned by the dotcom implosion, have shifted their focus to later-stage companies--because they are considered safer, and because VCs don't have to wait as long to get their money back.

Those starting out companies today have other means of raising capital to start and run their business including private placement of equity, university grants and SBA loans. Come and join the lively panel on April 22nd where you can meet entrepreneurs who have and executives who have assisted Technology companies in raising the capital they need without going the venture capital route. Specifically, some of the following questions will be addressed
  • What are the different alternative funding sources for technology based startups?
  • Where grants and available and how do you qualify?
  • What is the process needed to raise an SBA loan? How do you qualify?
  • What are the pros and cons of private equity placement? What is the minimum?
  • Is there free government money available?
  • What kind of help would a technology bank provide?
  • Venture Capitalists often bring connections and contacts with the investment, How do you develop them in the absence of private funding?
  • How do you approach later stage VC funding if your seed funding is through a loan or other private placement?
