**This event is free and open to representatives from technology and bioscience companies only.**

Join Kenneth Hostetter of M&T Bank and Greg Cole and Elizabeth Good from the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development's financing and venture capital programs to help you make sense of the opportunities available and how they might apply to your business.

Not every business is a good candidate for venture capital, and even if they are viable, many do not choose to pursue this avenue for funding.

So what are the alternatives to VC money? The answer depends on the nature and size of your business, as well as how you plan to apply the financing. Will the financing be used for "bricks and mortar" needs, i.e. purchasing a building, refitting lab space, or building out your current space? Or do you need assistance leasing capital equipment, training employees, or taking a critical step to get your product to market? Your answers to these questions will guide you to the best avenues to pursue for help. But even after you've gone through these steps, how do you know which bank to approach? Are there government programs, state or local, that could be of assistance? And if so, how do you get in the door? Is there money available in that $50K to $200K range that is often so important to the early stage company?

Register quickly - the session is limited to 20.
Note: You do not need to be a GBTC member to participate,
but members will receive precedence.
