Tuesday, Mar. 29, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. – Business Innovation Zone: Raising Capital Seminar
Des Moines – Greater Des Moines Partnership (700 Locust Street, Suite 100)
Entrepreneurs in search of start-up capital are invited to attend a full-day educational seminar packed with valuable tips, strategic insight and insider knowledge to help them uncover and understand sources of available capital.
“Many entrepreneurs don’t have a good understanding of the types of capital that start-up businesses can or should raise,” says Mike Colwell, executive director of the Business Innovation Zone of Central Iowa, the seminar sponsor. “This event will be the place to learn about the legal requirements, investor expectations of them, the timeframes and the costs involved in raising capital.”
