Are you ready for June??
News
| I know, I know, I am late for your weekly check-in… but it was a three-day weekend so I think I deserve a little slack and so do you! Should all work weeks only have 4 days?? I mean I’m a fan but that’s not what this is about. It’s still another busy week as we head into another busy month (still can’t believe June starts tomorrow, but the passage of time continues to be inevitable). Don’t worry, June is going to be filled with plenty of events and news to surely keep you on your toes. Make sure to check out some of the new events we have lined up that you won’t want to miss! |
This picture illustrates the weird time vortex we must be in if its already June tomorrow

- Learn more about the capital landscape and the possibilities that exist for all types of businesses, whether you’re a one-woman-shop or on a mission to scale.
- Identify the type of capital that’s appropriate for your startup or small business at your current stage of growth.
