Every great idea needs the right resources to take off—and funding is often the first big hurdle for entrepreneurs.
In this workshop, we’ll explore the full spectrum of funding options available to early-stage founders, including banking, crowdfunding, friends & family, angel investors, and venture capital.
You’ll learn how to:
- Understand which funding sources align with your business stage and goals
- Prepare what you need before seeking funding (documents, pitch decks, projections)
- Weigh the pros and cons of each option—so you can make informed decisions
- Build relationships with potential funders and communicate your vision effectively
Whether you’re bootstrapping or looking for outside investment, this session will help you map out your funding journey with clarity and confidence.
Don’t miss this opportunity to get your questions answered and discover which path to funding is right for you.

Entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful vehicles for creating a legacy. I firmly believe that investing in the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders is essential for shaping the future of business, leadership, and economic empowerment.
