Put the FUN Into Your Fundraising with Stephanie Sims, Founder, Finance - Ability

You already know exactly what you need to do to get funded...but you probably can't see it.

Despite all the jargon and roadblocks that seem to keep you from connecting with investors, fundraising is not as hard as you think.

Because getting a "yes" from investors is just like getting a "yes" from a customer - it doesn't happen by accident, and you can put the odds in your favor with a proven process.

During this session, you'll learn:

• Why you should stop asking for introductions to investors - and what to do instead

• The real reason that investors aren't calling you back

• How to build your custom Funding Formula that not only saves you time, but skyrockets your chances of getting the funding you need to grow
