Access to capital can make the difference between a business that is surviving and one that is thriving. Half the battle is knowing about the funding opportunities that are available, the other half is putting together a strong application. We’re here to help with both.

In this info session, we will share information about our upcoming 5-week Capital Bootcamp, where Colorado business owners will receive technical assistance to complete their application for state funding programs. The bootcamp allows for drop-ins on a single session that you specifically need help on, or attend all 5-weeks and receive a “Capital Ready” certification along with all the tools needed to complete your application.

In this information session we will cover:

– An overview of the state funding programs that exist and qualifications for each program
-A detailed schedule of the Capital Bootcamp and what each session will cover
-A review of the Capital Ready certification and how it works
