MONEY FEST

PROJECT OF INNOVATION PORTAL

Gaining access to capital can be essential to many entrepreneurs as they are launching and growing their businesses. The Mobile Chamber and Innovation Portal are bringing together experts and funding professionals to demystify the world of financing for startup, early-stage and small business ventures.

Education

Money Fest is a one-day, annual, event  focused on all things capital. The event features breakout sessions about different types of funding (e.g. the Funding Continuum, Equity-Based Fundraising, Debt-Based Funding, Pitch Competitions, Bootstrapping, Specialty Lending, etc.). Through this event we want to make funding more accessible as you learn what bankers and investors are looking for, gain insights from founders about their funding stories, and access to the region’s funding experts. Participants will leave with connections to funding partners and other founders, and an understanding of different sources of funding that are available and best fit the current stage and needs of their business.
