Capital Bootcamp Series

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 5-week bootcamp, Colorado business owners will receive an overview of the state funding programs that exist AND the technical assistance to complete their application. Participants can expect to walk away with tangible assets, including help with application completion, pitch deck completion, financial document preparation, and more.

Participants can drop-in for a single session that they specifically need help on, or attend all 5-weeks and receive a “Capital Ready” certification along with all the tools needed to complete their application. The certification acts as a strong signal to lenders participating in the program that they are reviewing a strong application. In addition to the one-hour weekly sessions, office hours available for 1-1 support.
