What: Century Club Alternative Sources of Capital Seminar Series

When: March 30, April 21, May 13
Registration and Networking 7:30-8:00 a.m. // Program 8:00-9:30 a.m.

Where: Offices of Piper Rudnick LLP, Reston Virginia

Why: Although there is a lot of talk about early stage venture funding starting to pick-up, it still is very difficult for start-up companies to find and secure funding from venture capitalists. Federal and state programs exist that are designed to provide financial assistance to support development and commercialization of promising technology, products and services.

As a complement to its Century Club Grubstake Breakfast series, and Venture Capital Bootcamp, the Century Club is proud to host this three-part series which explores several of these government-funded alternatives to venture financing, and will provide useful information designed to help small businesses find and increase their chances of securing these government sources of capital.

RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED!! (Two day written cancellation required. All no-shows or late cancellations will be billed!)
