Annual Workshop Features Resources for Southern Arizona Entrepreneurs
IdeaFunding 2009 – November 5 at the Tucson Marriott University Park
What:
Once you’re ready to launch your venture, where do you turn for funding? Is debt, equity, or government funding the best option for your project? How do you take that next step?
IdeaFunding is an annual one-day workshop for entrepreneurship designed for individuals interested in bringing a new product or service to market, early stage companies, and individuals within established firms exploring entrepreneurial new directions.
The 2009 event will be devoted to one of the most important phases of the venture start up process: funding. Speakers and panelists with exceptional knowledge and understanding will explore and illuminate practical funding sources and what you need to know to be successful, whether that means a microloan or venture capital.
The event will also feature the announcement and presentation of the Thomas R. Brown Entrepreneurship Award, and will conclude with an address by Susan Preston (managing partner, CalCEF: Clean Energy Angel Fund), The University of Arizona 2009 Anheuser-Busch Angel-in-Residence.
