Join us for this month’s Women’s Business Networking Lunch as we welcome Jessie Israel, an experienced business strategist, to discuss the ins and outs of funding partners.

Are you considering external capital for your business? Jessie will guide us through key questions like:
✔️ Do you really need a funding partner? When to seek external capital—and when to go it alone.
✔️ Understanding different capital sources:
• Family Offices – Patient capital with a long-term impact focus
• Venture Capital (VC) – High-growth expectations and rapid scaling
• Private Equity (PE) – Efficiency-driven investments with a focus on financial performance and exits
✔️ What investors look for: Growth potential, leadership, and market opportunities.
✔️ Expectations & trade-offs: How funding impacts decision-making, control, and your business trajectory.

We’ll wrap up with a group discussion on where to start, how to position yourself, and the key first steps if you decide to seek funding.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights, ask questions, and network with fellow business professionals!
