The state of the economy has created uncertain times for entrepreneurs.  While starting a company in this environment certainly has its benefits (particularly in terms of the available pool of talent), fundraising is a lot more challenging. As you look to satisfy your capital needs, you will need to be creative in searching out funding sources, including leveraging business relationships and contacts to uncover possible leads for financing your startup.  This limited-seat lunch will give you a perspective on what you can expect from the Boston-area angel groups, VCs and debt providers. We’ll have a representative from each of these sources of capital to give an overview on what it’s like out there and to answer the questions you may have.
 
Working lunch programs are hosted by TCN's professional service sponsors in New England to provide tactical level information designed to accelerate the fundraising process for Boston-area startups.
