Venture RAISE Explore: What funding is right for me?
Tuesday, May 19, 2026 (12:00 PM - 1:30 PM) (MST)
Description
Venture RAISE Explore is a multi-step program designed for entrepreneurs and startups who have a product in market and early users/customers. Most founders jump straight into pitching investors rather than exploring bootstrapping or talking with lenders first.
At the end of the program, founders will have a better understanding of funding options, fundraising planning and how to ask for funds. All program graduates will have access to the ACA's Founders Forum, a peer-to-peer networking group, as well as access to investor services.
